[CAUT] Vs Profelt... again

[Paul T Williams]

Hi Ed,

Perhaps several of us from different parts of the country with different 
climates might try this.  A good test must entail many different bits of 
information with many various pianos, felts, environments, glues that 
attach them, etc. (wood types, glues used, or not in some Steinways (guide 
rails) )  I'll try it here in Nebrasky. I've both profelt and the usual. 
Anyone else have other solutions they use?.. This would, indeed, be a good 
way to tell what really works!   What fun!  (fun in a sick, techno sort of 
way!) I won't get to the test until January, but the weather will still be 
dry (at least here). 

Please remind me to do this in January. 

 I won't get to any test pianos this week.  Just winding up the regulation 
and then tunings on my Big Red Steinway!!! :>) Other than the strange 
change on appearance,(from a sick sort-of green walnut-ish...ick) the Big 
Red will be a marvelous '26 M with Wally's Naturals.  I haven't even 
started to begin the voicing, but I hear some wonderful potentials! I 
guess I'm sort of sick, but I wish I could work on this piano over 
Christmas break, but if I do, won't get any time credited for my work 
during the 'shut down' time.      (I may still come in, though....Aren't 
we all a bit  insane with something that is going to be absolutely 
beautiful????!!!!) 

Good thought, Ed

Paul

Dennis-
You could do an interesting test for us here: Do some bushings with 
VSProfelt, and some with alcohol and water, and tell us if there is a 
difference in the result.

Hi all-

I finally got to the archives for catching up with this previous 
discussion, which left me a bit confused. My original understanding from 
Pianotek is that this stuff is intended for use as a loosening agent 
together with cauls for over tight centers or bushings.  Does it also work 
as well for swelling up loose bushings, or was that a misunderstanding?  I 
would like to try it on a set of loose damper guide rail bushings for an 
S&S B if that is recommended. 

many thanks,

Dennis Johnson
