It is supposed to be that way. The turning polishing wheel melts the compound on to the wheel.

I'm SURE you guys are just full of shit, and don't really want to kill cats.

Just make sure you bend it where it needs bending. Find the place(s) it is off, and correct them.

I think Lee makes most of his contacts and buys, at shows.
Masecraft supply has nice materials, but bad catalog, and a $50 minimum order.
It's better to buy exotic stuff in person, if possible.

Oh, Hell! Just grab it and bend it into position. You may need to use a vise.

Do you mean the backspring sticks up out of the liners?
Or, is there a gap between the backspring and liners?

A dollop of Vaseline on your fingertip, and forced into the mouth should help. Do this weekly.

Boy-I set myself up for this one! Nothing can be done about the short blade, but the sharpening marks can be sanded out using sandpaper and a flat stick. Bolster will have to be removed and straightened, then resoldered. You can make punches to accomplish the straightening. If the broken rocker is c...

And Ed Brown ships his custom automatics covered with it! Recently, I had a small, rare Italian that I reworked. I oiled the pivot up with Breakfree, and sent the knife on it's way. A month later, it came back, with strange discoloration near the pivot. The owner sent the knife for another problem, ...

That is interesting about Breakfree. I use it on all my bench projects. I have soldering flux and other corrosives on my bench, and when I have to leave raw steel out for days or weeks, I coat it with Breakfree. Never had any problem with rust.
