Re: loose quil

Interesting idea.

seems the thin gap, less than 2 mil makes it hard to get the stuff in
there. With a thin gap, I cannot see how to fill the void

Also it would seem that any type of epoxy or other plastics would
provide a slipery surface and fill the gap. Since there is no
pressure on the material and no grit it should have a long service
life.

Coating the quill before filling is important too.

so,it seems like I would wind up with a smooth bore or solid part.....

any ideas on how to inject the stuff evenly ? sounds like a grouve
would allow for the material to be carried around the quill, and then
just pressurize until it comes out along the circumference.
