Elmer's Slide-all Teflon Based Spray Lubricant
By John Taber

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMDigest --

Hi All,  I've been using Elmer's Slide-All Spray lube for about
30 years now, on any parts that would normally call for graphite.
Build a film, about three coats on wood slide valves (after fine
sanding of course).  Lifter fingers, under action jacks, felt
bushings can be soaked with a spray tube to eliminate drag.  It
doesn't attract dust or get gummy.

I also lightly spray the backside of those troublesome rolls that
wander side-to-side or have cups and warps that cause discords.
As long as the roll no tears it can be wound tight till it squeaks.
I know it sounds crazy but _wow_ it works!
