I was using the spray version, and I used it on my wind instrument, and

been fine ever since.Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C&C 35 Mk III Victoria, BC On 13 April 2014 19:16, Chuck S <cscheaf...@comcast.net> wrote: > Hi Jim, > Could you elaborate on what items you were using the SuperLube and can you > speculate what happened to it? > > Thanks > Chuck > 1990 C&C 34R > New Gretna, New Jersey > > > ------------------------------ > *From: *"Jim Watts" <paradigmat...@gmail.com> > *To: *"1 CnC List" <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> > *Sent: *Thursday, April 10, 2014 12:12:41 PM > > *Subject: *Re: Stus-List LF 38 rudder post grease fitting (again) > > I used to use Super Lube...until one day I noticed that everything that I > had lubed had a crusty gooey coating where there used to be lube.
