A local gunsmith installed a Silvers' pad on a Greener Empire boxlock that I recently acquired. He did a nice job but has no experience with finishing the pad.
Right now the pad (Galazan's imitation Silvers' type) feels like a pencil eraser.

I see that Vasoline can be used, but how?

How about the Slick EZZ product by Kick EZZ?

Thanks!
