There is plenty of this light-headedness on PTech, and I'm surprised
you've only noticed now (when you were looking for the answer to a
question of yours). I personally liked that one-liner.
You need to ask first how dilute. 8:1 is the standard, and my first
(uninformed) time I used 4:1 on a set of badly over-lacquered
Steinway B hammers. They voiced up beautifully and a year later I'm
still grateful for Snuggles' work. Which bears mentioning the other
serious point: this as do all other mystery sauces only gets you into
the ballpark.
If you're looking for wisdom without wisecracks, it ain't PTech.
Roger Jolly is right on the mark.
