Hi Jim,

I tried responding to the pianotech list but I am on my iPad at the cottage
on vacation.  Instead it went directly to Encore  like this is going
directly to you. Would you be so kind as to forward this for me because I
do not have that email readily accessible so easily and tell them this...

 Harry Buyce was one of my mentors.. And that stuff works very well that he
speaks of.  However it must be used very sparingly! It does not take very
much to remove the magic marker from the key.  A little dab will do ya...
Remember that....  If you use do not use it correctly with the mindset that
a lot is better, it will melt the key top a bit so, always use it
sparingly! I still use it, but as I said, a very small amount!!!  Harry
gave me some way back then to use for free.  I love it!

Thanks!

Jerry Groot RPT

Regarding felt marker ink on keytops -- there is a technique mentioned in
the August 2012 Issue of the PTG Journal, page 10..
Harry Buyce, in 2004, suggested the following:
"I have discovered a process that will remove the marker ink and will not
damage the plastic keys. It is called Aero Brand #1250 Ink Reactivator,
manufactured by Specialty Ink Co., Deer Park, NY. You can find this product
at a large rubber stamp company that wholesales to other dealers, or find
it online. You wet a cloth with this solution and wipe the key. The black
will just disappear...

I have not tried it but if it works, it would be much easier than the
methods recently put forward on the list.
