[CAUT] Hammer-Lac

[dpshans at aol.com]

I just returned from the Touch and Tone seminar a few weeks ago.  My notes don't mention any specifics regarding the solids content of the factory dip, but for voicing in the field, Kent recommended the following:

Lacquer typically comes in one of two levels of solids content:  12% and 25%.  If your lacquer is 12% solids, he recommends thinning at a 3-1 or 4-1 thinner to lacquer ratio.  If the lacquer has a solids content of 25%, then he recommends trying a ratio of between 6-1 to 8-1 thinner to lacquer.  

Hope that helps,

If you search the archives there was a posting some time ago about the
pecific solids content perhaps from Schandall, though it may be in the
ianotech archives.  The best thing to do is experiment with whatever
acquer you are using and figure it out.
