>Dear List-

>Yesterday I purchased Singer Lazer Steamer for $49 at home Depot.
>I'm delighted with it.
>It looks like a big teapot with a downward pointing nozzle.  It squirts a
>jet of steam when you press a trigger button.
>So far I've tried it for softening dampers,  reviving hammers, reviving
>keybushings and back key rail cloth, all with good results.
>I tested for removing key bushings and found it worked well on hide glue,
>but needed a little glue softener added to the bushing for white glue.
>The great delight was cleaning a plate and soundboard.  It was the best
>I've ever done at getting the dirt out between strings at the hitchpins.
>I've used many home made steam shooters.  None come near the ease and
>dependability of this gadjet.
