James, List, I'm sure this has been discussed, and I may look the fool to ask, but, any reason not to use denatured alcohol (aka ethanol, aka grain alcohol)? I keep a bottle of anhydrous denatured alcohol on hand for mixing/dissolving shellac flakes. Is there a reason to stay away from this for piano work? It is much less harmful to us/environment, although it does evaporate slightly more slowly than methanol. curious as george, William R.

Actually, I need only a small amount after I ream, iron and then cure the bushings in the damper rail on an SD10. Yep, it's nasty stuff, alright, but so are hanging dampers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- > _______________________________________________ > Pianotech list info: https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives >
