List, Here are 2 e-mails from Del regarding VJ lube -- I made it just like the old formula suggested except that I originally used all Teflon and no talc. I didn't like the texture for some reason--it's been a few years since I last cooked up a batch--so added talc until I liked how it felt. No rocket science or advanced chemistry degree necessary. Sure, pass it on. -----Original Message----- From: Delwin D Fandrich <ddfandrich at gmail.com> Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2009 06:49:55 To: Dave Davis<dave at davispiano.com> Subject: VJt Lube Dave, as I'm in China just now I can't respond to PianoTech. I can read it but not answer. I've been using a modified VJ lube made with a blend of talc and Teflon powder for about 15 years. I like it a lot better than the original. Use less and it still lasts longer. You do need some talc (if memory serves about 1/3 talc to 2/3 Teflon powder) to act as a thickener. If you ever used any of the stuff in my shop that what it would have been. ddf -- Delwin D Fandrich Piano Design & Fabrication Consultant 620 South Tower Avenue Centralia, Washington 98531 USA Email ddfandrich at gmail.com Email del at fandrichpiano.com Tel 360 736 7563 Cell 360 388 6525 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
