---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment =20 Hey David You missed my point entirely. But that's OK. My point was get some lacquer= =20 then try some on sample hammer & see what happens, Whatever solids content= =20 it is can be adjusted by thinning unless the solids are incredibly low. Dale I think it=E2=80=99s worth knowing whether or not different lacquers will p= roduce=20 different results at similar dilution levels. There is quite a bit of=20 difference between 12% and 26% solids if you are using a 3:1 dilution. If=20= Eric=20 Schandall is correct in his report, then the solution advocated by Steinway= is a=20 fairly light solution. This might explain why different people report usin= g=20 various dilution levels and seem to achieve similar results. Using a high=20 solids lacquer with a 3:1 dilution may produce a hammer that has a much hig= her=20 concentration of lacquer than is desirable or that will develop well over=20 time. With all the talk recently about =E2=80=9Cover lacquered hammers=E2= =80=9D and the wonders=20 of Wurzen, I think it=E2=80=99s a microscope worth looking through. =20 =20 David Love davidlovepianos@comcast.net =20 ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
