I DETEST Crayfords - any flavour. Whilst Feathertouch are the best, I still found they slip enough.
R&P all the way, especially Vixen's dual speed version (which I prefer significantly to Takahashi's)
Try the shrink tube Morton. It works. Not as smooth as a standard Crayford, but at least it will hold something and actually move when it is supposed to.

Heat shrink is a great idea Lewis! Will give it a go.
