Dale, see my earlier reply to Joe. Will From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Dale Erwin Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2012 1:51 AM To: joegarrett at earthlink.net; pianotech at ptg.org Subject: Re: [pianotech] plate finishing Joe One of the nicest parts about acrylic lacquer is they are quite flexible for some time. The screw holes clean out easily with a sharp counter sink. Its not brittle and you gotta whack it, or scratch it hard to really mess it up. Down side is, if you get it too thick the washers and rear aliquots tend to bury into the lacquer a bit. Will? ...Hows yer finish on these issues Dale Erwin... RPT Mason & Hamlin/Steinway/U.S pianos www.Erwinspiano.com 209-577-8397 Will, Excellent write-up. I printed it out to show to my refinisher.<G> Just wondering how this stuff is in regard to "chipping". I've yet to find any finish that will resist chipping unless it is less than a week old, (i.e. still soft ). I've found that using an appropriate counter sink on the screw holes, right after the initial finishing process, helps to eliminate some chipping, but ya really have to have all your ducks in a row to get the plate stuffed into the carcus and get the strings on before the darned stuff sets up hard. Any suggestions? Regards, Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
