[pianotech] finishing plates

Sounds like the best system to me. Heat shrink is on my shopping list also. 

Now tell me how to deal with the agraffes when they are not being replaced.

  I'm telling you guys, heat shrink tubing.  clip it off, heat it, and it's tight at the bottom of the pin with a wall thickness of maybe 1 or 2 mils.  No shadow.  Plus, cut them a little long, and just grab the tip when you're done and they come of clean and easy.  Really!

    spray over them and blow off the chips after stringing?"

    Ron,
    As I said before, pieces of player tubing w/just the very tip exposed. Spray, (from ALL angles to avoid the "shadow") and remove. String and, yes, blow the chips off. Then...touchup with a small artist's brush. Definately does not require any "birthdays"!!
