Hi, Geoff. I take a little 3/4" or 1" square of back rail felt and hold it in a pair of long tweezers - I've been using the same piece for years. I then squeeze a few drops of ProTek (not Prolube) and spread it where I want it, including the places you mention. It's thinner than Prolube, and as soon as the solvents evaporate, it's dry. -Mark Geoff Sykes wrote: > Greetings all -- > > I have had good success with using ProLube to lubricate the string > bearing points in older and/or rusty pianos.
