Alan - I hear you and many other members of the forum on that point. Henry wins the popularity contest hands down with his claims of business. I offer only facts for analytical minds and submit no resume for review as it only distracts from the topic of the moment. Those with the herd mentality may continue to drink their punch none the wiser but don't sandbag new, revealing information that those with brains and decision making power may find useful.

The main difference in this case, and the reason why I am so passionate about getting the information out, is the danger of a half opinion that Henry has shared. His suggestion of DC55 is contingent upon the case being beveled. That prerequisite is omitted (dangerously in my opinion) from the sealant list. If you're not beveling your case halves then DC55 is an absolutely terrible suggestion for the lube to use. I would further the recommendation against the DC55 due to the thread on the bolt.
