Has anyone tried this apparently wonderful product? If so, would you recommend it?
Thank you.

<font color=blue>I thought it was neccesary to have a slight drip for lubrication purposes. One every one minute or so.

Gentlemen,
Thank you for your responses; according to Nigel Calder - Boatowner's Mech & Elec Manual- "in normal use shuts off the water in the seal altogether" & is apparently composed of shredded teflon in a heavy hydrocarbon base. Please note I am quoting & make no claims in respect of understanding!
Thank you

They certainly rate it in the West Marine catalogue - but haven't found any in a UK chandlery that is called "Drip Free Packing"

"Drip-Free Packing" as made by The Drip-Free Packing Company of Florida. There was a thread on sourcing it in the UK last year, concluded that no uk suppliers, and that West were best bet.
