---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment =20 Dave Ok we're coming at it from differing perspectives.=20 I definitely disagree with Mcmorrows method because of the blocking action= =20 of successive coats of lacquer & I believe Stwys get it right on the first=20 shot approach probably verifies this. I was advocating experimentation & thus familiarity. You know... the=20 learning curve. Regards Dale I didn=E2=80=99t miss your point. The issue speaks to the number of appli= cations=20 that are typical in terms of Steinway=E2=80=99s recommendation and whether=20= or not the=20 solids content is the only factor that determines density building. There=20 are different approaches to lacquering ranging from Ed McMorrow=E2=80=99s o= f using a=20 seemingly dilute solution and many applications, to those who advocate a on= e=20 application approach and a stronger solution. Interestingly, since we don= =E2=80=99t=20 know the solids content of the lacquer that McMorrow used, it may be that hi= s=20 solution was, in fact, not any different than the one Steinway generally=20 advocates. You can certainly get a satisfactory result, at least in the sh= ort=20 term, either way. How the hammer develops over time or the stability of th= e=20 voicing that results may be another matter. Of course, we can each go out=20= and=20 get a gallon of lacquer and start experimenting (which I have done), but it= =20 might be useful, as a starting point, to see what the general guidelines ar= e=20 from those who advocate and have daily experience with this approach. =20 =20 David Love ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
