I have a Wurlitzer Service Manual, part no. MP-958,  which I received at a
seminar  probably some 15 years ago.    On page 3  for Shrinking Action
Centers they say:
`	"The shrinking solution consists of eight parts of naptha and one part of
light mineral oil.
	Drop a few drops of the solution at each center so it will soak into the
bushing cloth.  Use
	caution when applying.  The response to the shrink solution should be
immediately apparent."

My personal margin note indicated  the  class instructor suggested using
V.M. & P. brand naptha available
at Sherwin Williams Paint stores.

I've used this mixture on a number of vertical pianos in the past and find
the action centers are eased almost immediately.   I can't speak to the
possiblity of  some future verdigris problems.  However, it  has  not
become  a problem  on  those pianos  I serviced some 10 or 12 years ago.
