I have seen something advertised in the past. Has anybody tried it? A no-oil alternative to the felt RX-20 gasket? If it is legit and good where do I buy it and can I support a board member by buying it through them?

I think I've heard about it as well but haven't seen it. On the other hand I've never used oil on my rx's. I had the Chemdry one for 5 years and didn't have any problems. Used in about 3,000 jobs. I greased it the first few times I had it and found the oil dripping was too much of a pita. I did go through a few of the metal plates that the felt hits. About 3 every year. It would warp but was about 12 bucks a piece.

something that came out a few years ago..I tried one and after about a month the thing cracked in half....I use the original style and the only time I have ever soaked it in oil was when I first got it and never ever had a single issue with it....been so long ago I don't remember how old it is ..........
