Quite apropos, that: I was just about to replace cheek blocks in my reefing system, and that requires SS screws in an aluminum boom. I've used anhydrous lanolin in the past, but all I remembered about it was that it worked well on turnbuckles. I think I'll go find some... hopefully, someplace here in Beaufort, SC will have it. -- * Ben Okopnik * Editor-in-Chief, Linux Gazette * http://LinuxGazette.NET * _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://www.liveaboardnow.org/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardnow.org/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
