But the cool thing is how this fixes itself, like magic.
Not to take over the original posters intent on the post, but I guess I'll have to hunt up that exact product. I was going to use this stuff, assuming, possibly wrongly, that it was about the same stuff:

I've used this stuff, with modest success, on non-serviceable rat trap pedals, you know the type, they came on really cheap bicycles in the 70's and 80's. It flows fairly well, and then firms a bit when it's settled in. I haven't experienced a crunchiness, sound wise, with it.
