carbontex - wet or dry?

Just got some carbontex drag washers for my dogfight and was wondering if I should run them wet or dry?

I've not tried them dry, but they work well with Cal's.

I use carbontex on all my spinning saltiga's and i either use cal's grease or shimano drag grease on them.

I never tried them dry but I have read on other forums that they had problems when running them dry. Apparently the carbontex can get a bit too abrasive and damage the spool and drag plates when they are run dry on the saltiga spinning reels. I did try to use them dry on the Saltiga Z30 without any problems but the drag plates are all stainless steel in the Z30.

Jack Erskin recommends the use of cals grease with his washers, he told me to "use it very sparingly".
