I was watching a video where a gentleman is packing the axle hubs with a paste of graphite and 91% alcohol and drying with a heat gun/hairdryer. Thoughts?
Packing Axles

I usually try to not discourage people from trying new things, but I am smart enough to say that method is useless.
Lets just say that the "graphite bearing" does actually pack in the bore and stays there... There is no way it is centered. So you end up with a wheel with zero clearance where the bore is off center. I say after a couple runs the graphite breaks up and spills out all over the track.
