I have often wondered if there is a better method to apply graphite
to wood slide surfaces.  The old directions from PPCo were to first wet
the wood to expand the pores and then rub on the graphite.  I seem to
have mixed results on different types of wood.  Maybe I am not waiting
long enough to let the water do its job.  I would value any suggestions
to help me out with this task.
