Hi Paul: Regarding the Corfam infested piano and your penney pinching customer it might be worth your time to replace - with buckskin - just one of the catcher leathers that is not operating correctly. Point out to him where it is currently checking ( well, at least trying to catch ) and then remove ( read sand or otherwise remove ) the Corfam. Use CA and an accelerator to replace just that one with buckskin and let your customer note the difference. He/she will have to be dead to not see it. It is kind of like a picture is worth a thousand words. Nice thing about this "picture" is that your cost is very little and you stand so much to gain. John R. Fortiner Billings, MT. ps. If using CA and an accelerator apply the CA to the catcher and the accelerator to the leather. Press the two together and be prepared for a fair amount of heat under your finger that is holding the leather in place. Takes about 5 seconds. On Fri, 05 Nov 1999 06:49:33 -0800 "Paul S.
