[AT] Now grease in unit

[charliehill]

Mike, Bentonite is a substance found in clay.     I think the bentonite clay 
is what's used in drilling mud and maybe not the pure bentonite.  It's also 
used as waterproofing on the outside of concrete walls below grade.   I'm 
not sure about bentonite grease but it seems to me I've heard of it before.
