I've just started using this finishline product with a Teflon base. I also like to keep my rail dry and clean. This product does a good job. I also use it on the bolts. Not sure if it helps with speed, but it makes it easier to pull the bolts out of The Block . . .penetration seems a little better too.

I have not used it long enough to give a solid opinion yet, just initial thoughts. I also tried the ceramic lube . . .however, it leaves a thin film, it's slicker and doesn't seem to have any dirt build-up, but I just like a clean/dry rail.

One thing for sure . . .wash your hands before grabbing the stock . . .you do not want this stuff on your stock.

I was using a teflon tape for a while, but it wasn't holding up well. Then on a tip from GREYWOLF, for 6 months now I've had a teflon coating bonded to my Exomax rail and it seems to keep things really slick.... It's tough stuff too... Strong enough to be applied to surgical equipment and saw blades... Donwell Industries applies the stuff.... Great people to work with.... I did it to my Ten-point too....and I'd do it as a SOP for getting the most from a x-bow....

I wrap the server with natural sinu, it saves the ware and tear on it.
