    Yeah Royal, You're a great bagger! Great technique, very relaxed, deliberate and precise. Nice job. Bag On!!
    I picked up a couple of Ryans Swivs\ also. Very Nice. I spoke with Ralph (RP65) who talked about getting those swivs
    coated with a space age type teflon coating that is incredibly durable and would make them faster and smoother.
    He also mentioned that it would last a lifetime, that you'de never be able to wear it out (or have to oil it ever again).
    Sounds like my kind of swivel! haha!

      Sounds interesting, wonder what it costs?

      I'm using this product, DuPont Teflon Multi-Use Dry Wax Lubricant, which contains Teflon and molybdenum. Some motorcyclists really like it for their bikes' chains. I've been hitting two weeks with it on my second Powermill swivel, no squeaks, plus I'd say it's a nice and quiet ball hook swivel now. I put it on the eye hook / s-hook, where they meet, not just on the ball. It doesn't attract dust, doesn't drip, doesn't need any attention as far as I can tell.

      Can't give you a long term report yet, but can say it is dirt cheap, you can get at at the local hardware store. I would think this would be perfect for outdoor swivels. Unlike oil, it will not thicken at 20 below. Have had it on a screen door hinge for a year now, no squeaks, no re-lubes.

        I have been wanting to experiment with a dry lubricant. This may be the answer

            thanks TJ_MaTee, I just watch videos from all the members and try to practice. Nothing special here. I like the teflon coating idea, how do we get this done?
