The only addition -- change -- I would make is to change the amount of
talcum powder to a half-and-half mixture of talcum powder and Teflon powder.
I call it VJ-T Lube. It works even better than the original.

Fill up a plastic 35 mm film can and you'll have enough for many a piano.

(PS. I also used a motorcycle to transport myself and a limited quantity of
tools and materials around for piano servicing back in the 1970s. Great
fun.)
