Hi randy,

Thanks for the email below and participating!

Right off, the lubricant just doesn't sound like it would work with
crossed rods hinges/suspensions, with its evaporation and the
potential of its long term thin film deposition effects which could
interfere with hinge movement. The "cure time" aspect you mention
really leaves me apprehensive of its use.

Obviously the product seems rather interesting for the general
purposes you describe. Right off; I'd hesitate to use such on a clock or
your music box as it could impede the mechanics therein....which are
probably alot more sensitive to their critical space, than larger physical
objects with alot more mechanical room to adjust. I hope your music
box works now!

Take care, Meredith Lamb
