Default Stuffing box packing

It looks like the best of the alternative packings to me both in
theory and handling it.


I considered using this stuff. Flax stuffing always dripped.

Last time I repacked my stuffing box, I used "Syntef Stuffing Box Lube"
with the flax stuffing.

It worked. Standard, cheap, flax stuffing works, with the lube.

Can't figure out what took me so long to get around to using it.
