Good! Here's hoping then! Maddening when things like that happen. Someone was talking to himself at the time (not sure who that was ;-) ) and he wasn't telling himself very nice things. :-) I'm returning the action tomorrow and will take along some hammer hardner just in case. Will let you know how it turns out. Maybe it'll just sing like the fat lady in the opera? :-) Scott Helms, you're funny. Looking forward to seeing you again at the convention. My wife is working one of the tables on Wed and Friday all day. Thanks for the advice all.

The bottle leaked and pretty well saturated the hammers(Abel's if I remember correctly). I notified Pianotek. Bob Marinelli said I could send them back or let them dry and try them. He did make a generous price adjustment, I glue a few on as samples and they sounded fine. Mounted the whole set and all was well. Randy Mangus In a message dated 6/30/2009 6:04:36 P.M.

I was almos done working on an action in my shope when I grabbed a bottle of Protek CLP, I opened it up and almost dropped it. BUT, in the process of dropping it, I spilled some onto the striking point of about 4 hammers in the mid treble section. Never had that happen before. I imagine it will mess up the tone of these hammers? I'm hoping it won't but, what are your suggestions? This just happened about 1 hour ago. I hate it when stuff like that happens!!!
