In the sixteenth lesson of his series, Alex Hamilton provides a practical guide on using Epilame (also known as Fix-O-Drop), a specialized surface treatment designed to prevent watch lubricants from spreading away from their intended points. He explains the technical benefits of Epilame in extending a watch’s service life but warns that it is not a substitute for proper cleaning and lubrication skills. The tutorial details the correct application methods for escape wheels and pallet stones, highlighting the danger of room-temperature drying and the importance of using heat to prevent rust-causing condensation.
