applying
a soap/talc mix to the pegs will help with tuning.
So, is that a 50/50 mix?
Love that typo. ;-)

Many thanks for all responses.
Baby powder with a bit of soap seems to be doing the trick,
will vary the proportions as needed.

I find that good quality peg paste (such as Hills) is far more reliable over
time. Soap and chalk can become rather an unpleasant grunge after a while
(often sooner than later).
A sparing amount of peg paste once a year or so is generally enough to keep
everything turning over smoothly.

Always be careful with talc. It frequently contains chrysotile asbestos
(talc and chrysotile asbestos have the same composition) which is a
potent carcinogen, so be sure you never breath the dust.

Laugh now; in 5 years you will need to hire a professional mechanic to
inject a mixture of high-temp. Macadamia Nut Oil and ambergris to
prevent micro-clutch seizure. Also a mandatory timing belt change for
EACH PegHed after 60,000 turns- ain't cheap!

I don't use talc or related products because of the asbestos.
Isn't that a cheery thought?
