more bearing lubricants

[John M. Formsma]

You can get Breakfree CLP from a place called Cheaper Than Dirt.  Lot of
stuff like army surplus, etc. from here as well.  It costs $4.97 for a 4 oz.
bottle.  The cat number is CLN-175.   Tele # is 1-888-625-3848.  Website is
http://www.cheaperthandirt.com.  Get a catalog--lots of neat stuff !

Subject: more bearing lubricants


 I am soliciting more advice on bearing lubricants.   Tuning is less of
a struggle when I routinely lube the bearings before every tuning on
every piano.   I do not limit it to just rusty strings, but all pianos.
"Joy's Rust-Solv" works well for all pianos but the smell is too strong
for most of my clients.

  I am still searching for a LOW ODOR lubricant that is safe for piano
strings to be used routinely.

   Have not found "Breakfree CLF" and would like to hear from those
who've used it.
