Spartite directs that you use petroleum jelly on the partners before pouring the plug. Most people do not want the plug to move on the mast (which Spartite assumes), so the mast is not lubed before pouring. If you want to be able to remove the plug, you could use petroleum jelly on the mast as well.

Andersen Subject: Re: Stus-List Mast Wedge Help What about wrapping something like paper (grocery store bag thickness) around the mast before using the Spartite? Something like mast, lube paper, Spartite, boat??

The line I use to pull the stick is substantial, but it stretches a bit. The first time I pulled the mast after installing Spartite, the line stretched before the plug “let go.” The mast jumped about a foot, like a big-ass pogo stick. Very unnerving. As I noted earlier, the bigger problem for me has been getting the stick re-aligned so the plug fits correctly when putting the mast back on. This may take some fine adjustments, which takes time, and your help may lose patience – especially if you’re splitting the crane time. In my view, this is the biggest downside of Spartite.
