Randy, the answer is yes and no 
When I use the polishing powder, after I burnish, if needed, on the pivots, I back off the pivot bed and I have a small piece of box wood with a tiny hole in it. I apply a small amount of paste into the hole, with a needle then I place the wood between the adjustable bed and the pivot, using the bed to secure the wood. Then I just give it a spin and HEY, who is that good looking guy staring at me from that pivot… OH, it’s me 😆
I hope my explanation makes sense, I haven’t quite woken up yet after only one cup of coffee lol
