Does anyone have experience with the lubricant called Renolanstift? It is sold by Renner, also Jahn and probably other European supply companies. It comes in a white (or now clear) plastic tube with a little tapered applicator. It is super slippery stuff and has freed up hammer flange bushings that did not respond well to other things like Protek. There is very little information online (if anything) and Renner really doesn't say much about it either. So, my questions are:
1) Since the applicator tip does not easily (in fact will not) fit between hammershanks while mounted on the rail so as to apply directly to the side of the bushing, does anyone know precisely what this is intended for?
2) On the Jahn site, it states about the product (translated into english): "Not to be used on winged hammer axles" (or "axes" depending on which rendering you read). Does anyone know what "winged hammer axles" are? Personally I think it is referring to hammer flange bushings (wings of the shank?) Anyone know?
3) It now comes in three viscosities, light, medium, and strong. What are the intended areas for this stuff? It is quite expensive for the quantity in the tube. It would need to be used sparingly.
I have also mixed it in with Protek to try to create a "super lube" concoction. Hard to tell if it made any difference.
Looking for advice from someone in the know.
