I used WD 40 and a long piece of binder twine. That's a fiber string used to bale hay. A lot of plastic twine is used today to bale hay. The twine was easy to pull back and forth and did a nice job of conforming to the shape of the jounals. The journals cleaned!Comment

Lots of other interesting info, including the importance of directional polishingComment
