I think no matter what you do you're going to end up with mis matches or in this case un intentional matches at every turn. Maybe a tinge of silicone spray onto a cue tip on the rings and or filters might be a good thing. I think i've done that on occasion. I'm big on lubricants of every known ilk. I just lubed my Rapidwinder works perfectly. Why didn't I think of that before? Why do we think things need to be dry? Its so austere. Like pulling your film. Give me brass anyday on those rings. Now that I know they make them. Mark Rabiner 8A/109s New York, NY markrabiner.com
