[CAUT] Getting lacquer out of hammers - follow up

I have a question. How long do any of you stand looking at 
lacquer, collodion, or keytop mix sitting on the surface of 
new, pre-plasticized hammers, waiting for it to soak in? The 
only difference between a 30 second soaking, and a 17 hour one 
is that capillary action hasn't soaked the entire molding 
through in the 30 second version, and they can be hung with 
water based glue instead of Duco. The solution has entirely 
permeated the felt of a virgin hammer well within 30 seconds.
