Hi all,

Honestly Backlapping on a Model 45 is just snake oil. The reel used in a 45 is not reverse able and as such is a one way reel.

Back lapping paste on these is simply a money making scam by all the sellers trying to sell you snake oil.

Speak to any honest operator of a machine shop and he'll soon give you "the good oil" on this practice.

This practice has been highly spread like the Corona Virus on the FB pages as most of these pages are run by sellers on eBay and other parts of this Cottage Industry.

Cheers,
BB.

I live a 24 Hour lifestyle, but every now and again I seem to fall asleep, well at least that's what my wife tells me.
