[pianotech] Damper wire bushing lubrication?

[Al Guecia/Allied PianoCraft]

I've been using a pipe cleaner to apply the teflon. Works well and fast to apply.

It's about a 4" brush, very small, and the tip is a small round ball.  Dip in Teflon, run through the bushing.  It's the perfect size for guide rails; the ball tip passes easily through the bushing but with a good amount of friction so the tip touches everywhere on the bushing.  Spin it in, spin it out.  If I get a moment, I'll take a picture later and post it.
