Ynot Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 All depends on what is causing the noise... Pulleys?Runners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boatman Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 For nylon runners use a silicone lubricant spray on the bearings, but be careful to keep it off the tabs. Do not use any mineral oil based product as it may cause the nylon to swell and the runners to stick. Been there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew C Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 "The one in metion is a swipe cloth not on a pulley." :unsure:That sentence still means nothing. Do you mean that the tab is pulled by a stagecrew walking the leading edge across the stage? If you are still on cotton bobbin runners, try some candle wax.

Trunker Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 Yes pulled by stage crew. Will try some suggestions, thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gaffa Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Also try and keep both the track & bobbins clean. I've used WD40 (might not be best practice) in the past to help stop the squeak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
