Glides and after touch

        I have heard of some very respected Techs who will set the glides a
little extra deep to increase dip and after touch.  My question is how far
can we go with this?   Assuming that the glides are set correctly in the
first place, would an increase of 1.5mm key height be too much?  What are
the dangers of doing this? (Please don't tell I'll know I've gone too far
when I have buried the hammer flange screws into the pinblock)  Does the
brand of piano make a difference? (i.e. sturdiness vs. flexabilty of key
frame) How does weather changes affect these setting?

curious,

Bob,
