Barbara - I was going to ask how long you let it dry. But 
it's implied here that it was short duration or maybe you tried a hair dryer? I 
have had very good luck with alcohol/water sizing. I don't worry too much about 
the percentage - about 50/50 - but if it doesn't soak in very well, I might up 
the alcohol and once everything is wet, maybe more water - but I have not found 
it critical. What I have found critical is to let the action centers dry 
naturally overnight - preferably a full day or two. 90+%?of the time it 
will work great - just make sure to get the action centers nice and wet. And be 
sure to not get water on other action parts - like hammer butts 
(DAHIK!).

I usually just go for 
  repinning because I know what my results are going to be and I have a pretty 
  good idea of how long it will take.? But it would make sense, I guess, to 
  give the water/alcohol sizing another try.? I haven't worked on many 
  pianos?where sizing was an option.

  

  

  



  
I usually have repinned also, but my experience prior to this was mostly 
  field repairs where there wasn't time for drying. ?I had time to 
  experiment on this action to find what solution strength worked best. And when 
  sizing works, it's much faster.
