Thanks! >Lance Lafargue, RPT Lance, List, Dilute the strength of your current acetone/keytop mix by 1/4, by 1/3, and by 1/2 in three separate containers. Start with the diluted 1/4 on one of the hammers. Apply it where you think it is needed. Wait for the results by allowing the acetone to evaporate. If it comes up to where you want it, move to the next hammer. If it doesn't, apply more of the same until it does. If it goes beyond where you want it, use your "SHALLOW salt and pepper needling on the strike point" gradually until it comes down. If the 1/4 diluted solution does not producing the results you are seeking, move to the 1/3 solution. Use the same method as mentioned above, et cetera. I had excellent results just last week with this strategy. Keith A. McGavern kam544@ionet.net Registered Piano Technician Oklahoma Chapter 731 Piano Technicians Guild USA
