[CAUT] Key Spacing: The Distal End

[wimblees at aol.com]

If the?reason to bend the keys is to keep them from rubbing against each other, I've found that sanding them is the easiest and quickest way.

When spacing (i. e., bending) the portion of the key between the balance pin and the distal end (where the lifter felt is) is indicated, does anyone have a technique that works particularly well for them? ?We are experimenting with heat alone (which we have found to be extremely slow-going, so far) and with steam (more rapid results, but harder to contain than heat without all that moisture in it). ?Thoughts?
