I read it as about 50 / 50 myself... with   Europe lining up on one side 
and America lining up on the other...grin..... a sign of times to come ??.

Despite Dons downplaying, I recommend due caution. Acetone can do some 
nasty things... or when was the last time you spille...er..ah... 
<<womans nail polish remover>> on a rug,... or on your own pantslegs.  
Sure... its not going to kill you... but you can make a mess in a 
hurry... and its not exactly not a health hazard.

Been there, done that.  But like I said... I encourage one and all to 
try out everything when it comes to voicing. Most of all tho, I 
encourage one to research traditional voicing with appropriate hammers. 
There are perhaps many more supised there then many take for granted.

btw... Whats Delwins take on hammers and laquer ?  Seem to remember he 
went further then we do over here for the natural  hammer resiliancy 
side.  No... this is one of those typical <<opinions vary>> 
questions....and so it should be :)

Cheers Dale !
