Double-Bushed Guide Rails

[David Love]

My only caution with the white action cloth is that it tends to be much
noisier (you can hear the sliding of the wires much more) than bushing
cloth.

Mike,

Am I to understand that you use just the white action cloth and no second 
layer?  Just find the thickness that works?

Thanks,
