Remember though it depends on the solids solution. Steinway lacquer is lo solids and so a stronger solution was used. Offthe shelf lacquers can be higher solids content and so will require a weakersolution. I have been using Sheffield's lacquer. I don't know what the solids are, but I mixed it at 5:1 and the last set of Steinway hammers required three total soaks before I began getting a little power and a lot less complaints from the faculty.
