There is clearly a point of diminishing return and it happens well before 14 oz. I normally apply less than 2 oz to the worst of pianos. It has occasionally happened that a few pins needed a little more the next time I'm out. I just give it to them. Rarely has the initial treatment not succeeded on on or two pins. When that happened I pulled the pin, squirted some THIN CA into the hole, stuck the pin back in. That has always worked for me. I am still tuning previously untunable pianos 8-10 years after the 2 oz CA treatment.

I had a client apply 14 oz to an upright. It tuned up just fine. They did a very neat job.
