          There are different kinds of plastics that yield decidedly 
different results. For example I have used clear plexiglass in an acetone 
solution for years on Isaac,Ronsen and Steinway hammers. The plexiglass is 
not  nasty and unforgiving as the keytop/ acetone solution is and frankly 
almost never use it. As you said David keytop/acetone  it is not for building 
tone it's for quick evening out of tone usually in concert situations. Iwould 
not recommend plexiglass for building tone in the steinway hammer either. But 
would use it to even things out.
   In fact If a hammer tends to be notoriously soft as many stwy hammers (and 
others) are the best tone building solution is an appropriately dilute 
solution of sanding sealer or clear laquer. Plexiglass will adequately build 
tone in hammers that are closer to what most of us would call acceptable tone 
without the danger of ruining or over polluting the hammer.
  The whole idea of voicing is control over  felt stiffness appropriate for 
the impedance characteristics a particular soundboard system .
