I don't use a petroleum lube when tapping aluminum, as it tends to make the tap seize in the material. Either use a product called "Alumitap" (a bit pricey) or just use a solution of 75% water and 25% liquid dish detergent. Makes for very smooth tapping. Lee i did use anything when i was taping my aluminum (and was a bitch at times) as i thought it would just make a mess of things and make the burs stick to everything wet, but will keep in mine the 1+3 mixture you have there Chris, _Odyssey Slipways_ (http://hometown.aol.com/odysseyslipways/index.html) -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
