I was spraying down a corroded Penn 975 handle nut, and I am pretty sure some X found its way down to the main gear and subsequently the drag washers.
They were not wet when I pulled them out of the main gear, but wanted to know if they are ok to use or trash?
Thanks, Scott.

of the we're dry, then they are okay. If in question, I would speak and rub with something like dawn rinse and let dry before reinstalling.
shouldn't be a problem. i sometimes have to take the grungiest carbon fiber drag washers and just rub out the old grease and grime, then slap on a thick coat of drag grease and call it done. it usually works.

You mean dawn dish washing soap, right? I don't think Dawn from smooth drag would like that ::) ;D ;D

haha! I was thinking the same thing!
hahahaha, yeah, dawn dish washing soap.
Oh sure, it's not enough I touch them, now I have to rub them on me? ;D
Ok, cool. Thank you for the input. I will stick with these CF washers.

I agree, It worked a few times for me.
Not sure if that will work?
Think you might be rubbing Dawn up the wrong way :o

groan...... ;D
Back on Topic, wouldn't some kind of solvent work like the carb cleaner?
I sometimes find washers with lots of oil on them. I simply wash them with soap or detergent, let them dry, grease them and they're good again! ;D
