I am sure that the veteran casters won't need this, but it worked pretty good. I was having trouble with a 6 cavity Lee mold opening easily every time, sticking, leaving parting line fins, etc. It is getting up there with regard to bullet count, so I guessed it was old age.
I have been using Bull Plate for years which works wonders, so I thought I was immune. I cut a Q-tip in half, chucked the stick in the collet of my dremel tool, oiled the cotton, dipped it in household cleanser and buffed the dowel pin holes. Now it is smooth as new and ready to drop another 10 000.
