    Just remember though, that a little goes a long way.  All you're trying
to do is get a thin coating on the surfaces that come in contact with each
other.  Any extra just gets pushed off to the side.  You should also know
that with time, this excess polymer can dry to a powder like substance and
ultimately get on the surface of the rubber roller material even though YOU
didn't get any on it by accident.  So there again, just enough to do the job
and no more.
    In the future, I would like to see sealed roller bearings in this area
to keep it clean and eliminate the need for polymer or grease.

  Polymer goes on plastic to plastic or metal to plastic contact.  Multi
purpose goes on metal to metal contacts.

    I have been replacing some of the red pinch rollers,  and i thought they
needed grease but i didn't know which grease.  I have two different kinds,
one says grease multi-purpose and one says grease EMB Polymer.  which one?

        LuAnn,

        No that is not correct. Both sides of the hub need a small tab of
grease as they are both contact bearing points.

        The red pinch rollers also need a small amount of grease applied to
the inner bearing post that they rotate on as well.

        An IMPORTANT point to remember is NOT to allow ANY grease to come in
contact with the surface of either roller. It has been found that any grease
on either of these surfaces will result in the thread feeding off to the
left side of the roller. If grease does get on these rollers, clean with
soap and water, do not use any alcohol product.

        Hope you had a very nice Christmas and will have a Happy New
Year.....

          Good morning all,

          I hope everyone had a great holiday.
          Installing new rollers this morning and it would appear that only
one side of the new thread feed roller gets grease on the hub. Is this
correct?

          Thank you so much for your help!
