If anyone has ever changed a distributor / points on an old car, there is a small tube of grease that is intended to be used on a plastic metal contact point. It is actually absorbed by the plastic and allows it to remain quite frictionless. If you want some good advice on this stuff look for an auto parts store with people that know more than just what they read from the packages or an older mechanic. -Steve -- Steve LoBasso Digital Technology International mailto:slobasso@dtint.com 500 West 1200 South or mailto:slobasso@hotmail.com Orem, UT 84058 http://members.tripod.com/~slobasso (801)226-6142 ext.265 FAX (801)221-9254 [ Moderator's note: Be sure to read the tube or find a MSDS for warnings about prolonged contact with skin. If you can absorb Li+ from this, it's serious bad news. --Dan ]
