[CAUT] VS Profelt - does nothing to wood.

[Jim Busby]

Thanks Bill.

I’m interested in HOW it works. I’ll try it on “anything felt”. I did try it on one application that failed; it looked like maybe it would size the BR hole like glue sizing… WRONG. Didn’t do a thing. I had a set of keys and glue sized ½ set and VSed the other and the VS side didn’t shrink much if any. I was mainly interested in how it affected wood, and apparently it does nothing.

Regards,
Jim

Hi Jim,

I was glad to read of your results with the VS Profelt. I taught a class in our Guild chapter and was showing them what all can be done with the VS Profelt. They were all amazed. This is the best thing since sliced bread. The only thing that someone needs to remember is that yoou need to go easy with the VS Profelt and let it do it's thing. Too much and you will find that you will loosen the glue in some pianos. Try it on whippen heels, regulating buttons, etc. You will be amazed at how it can make regulating easier.

Chris, All,

I did my first set of key bushings with VS Profelt. YES! It was amazing. They felt like new.

I also tried it on some tight hammer flanges. Perfect! 3 days and the friction is still 5 compared to 12 from last week.

I don’t know who the first one was (Rick, Debbie?) but you should get a Nobel prize or something.

one or two drops on the nesting footprint of the pin on each felt.

List,

I got my bottle of VS Profelt today. How much do you put on front rail bushings? I have cauls and juice ready!
