[pianotech] Nail Polish Remover

[David Boyce]

That was me.  It was "Cutex" brand, with acetone, and it had been the 
customer's diiscovery!  I was unable to find the acetone-containing 
Cutex nail polish remover locally, but did find acetone-free Cutex which 
worked just as well, on another piano.

It may be that it only works on certain specific early plastics 0 types 
of celuloid.  There is a certain "technique" to using it, I found. You 
have to be fast, and use a fresh surface or kitchen (paper) towel, or 
tissue, every key or two.

Best regards,

David.



List
Some time ago, someone on the list experimented with a nail polish 
remover on yellowed- plastic keytops with very good success.
Could someone refresh my memory what brand of nail polish remover was 
used and the ingredients?
