The final disposition of the spent brake part cleaner is that it evaporates ( very quickly ) from the cardboad that is sitting beneath the piano. As "environmental" as I am, it equates to driving your car about 2 miles, and will make the piano sound so much better that it wll encourage the owner to stay home, and play, thereby reducing emmissions, overall. Peace, Thump P.S. As soon as I can afford it, I'm opening a juice bar in Hawaii, and getting back and forth from the adjunct farm which produces the organic fruits and vegetables for it, via electric car ( batteries charged by solar and wind power ). My critics are heartily encouraged to send donations, to achieve this deam, that I may not be longer involved in piano repair, and its ancillary, occassional toxicities. Send Donations to: Gordon Stelter P.O. Box 2762, Athens, Ga. 30612 All respondents donating more than $100 will be invited to Hawaii, for a vacation. --- Farrell <mfarrel2 at tampabay.rr.com> wrote: > And the final disposition of the spent brake part > cleaner? > > Terry Farrell > > ----- Original Message ----- > >I just worked on a Starr player, with especially > > gummy, greasy, filthy bass strings.
