which washers are best suited for folders? should i stay away from any of these maybe? what i managed to find was neoprene, delrin, teflon, mica ,phosphor-bronze, nylon, nylatron, phenolic and brass. im guessing delrin and teflon would be good but im really not sure/ mike
 
I use teflon, i've always found nylatron to be a little draggy, but i've run across many different opinons on what washer is better. so it seems like its a personal prefrence. I've used nylatron, teflon and phosphor-bronze but none of the others so i have no opinion on them.

They'll all work, but some last longer than others. I find the teflon is the slipperiest, but also the weakest. The bronze is a great compromise in strength and slickness - especially with a drop of tuf-lube added.
