Sherwood, Maybe British Wire Wheel would be the place to check on this question. As far as bicycles go, using some sort of spoke prep compound is suggested. One old trick is to use Lindseed Oil as it lubes the threads while truing and then becomes sticky so the spokes don't loosen. It does not become too sticky though as to prevent disassembly if the need arises. David Edgar, TC 5108 El Cajon, California At 12:14 AM -0400 5/3/01, SherParker@aol.com wrote:
