Be very carefull with stainless to stainless contact without any form of lubrication, Its very easy for stainless on stainless to pick up.

Indeed.

Referring to and following manufacturers documentation is the best advice.

Which of these two is the greater contributory factor to your falling off: The pub or the Copaslip?
