It's only viscous so that you can pour/mold it into the shape you want. It's not a liqid that "absorbs" backlash. It hardens and becomes a solid, thus forming new threads. From what I've seen, many people have been successful at getting their backlash down below 0.002" with it, so I'm gonna try it.
I've contacted Devitt Machinery, and they answered all of my questions well. I'll be purchasing some moglice and using it this weekend. It should cost less than $100, which seems very fair to me.
I'll let you guys know how it goes, since it seems there's not many around here who have heard of it.
