And I'm as baffled as anyone as to why lubrication doesn't seem to work on plastic when it has worked practically every time with wood centers. It's happened on numerous occasions with plastic, not just once or twice. In most situations I've seen, with wood, you can take a very tight center, use CLP or some other such lube, and the center is virtually free, if only temporarily. Almost every plastic part I've seen that has been even slightly tight has been virtually unaffected by the introduction of lubricants. I am not making a judgement here, just offering what I've experienced to the list, thinking that maybe somebody knows something that I don't(well, that's a given...:-).
