Re: Thk slides

Here's an article that describes a method of removal. It was a link on
wikipedia. I looked it up because you guys got me curious. (Nothing
like those hexapods, though.)

http://www.surplusrifle.com/shooting/cosmoline/index.asp

At the end is a list of cleaners including EZ Off Oven Cleaner. That
stuff is straight lye -- I'd avoid it if I had cleaners that weren't
rated for turning flesh into soap.

Speaking of the hexapods (yeah, I know I'm a broken record sometimes),
I've been thinking about those ball and socket joints they use. What
do you guys think of using a couple of milled halves of delrin clamped
around a ball as a bearing? Or better yet, casting it into some
graphite doped epoxy (great idea, whoever you were.)
