And I've been using a MacLac high solids product which requires a much more dilute solution. Of course, I'm using it primarily on Bacon Felt Ronsen hammers which are a bit firmer than Steinway fluffies.

Steinway lacquer is lo solids and so a stronger solution was used. Off the shelf lacquers can be higher solids content and so will require a weaker solution. 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.
