hammer softener?

[Tom Driscoll]

Charles, I have used the stuff on rock hard asian hammers with good
results, and I too am interested in the experience of the list with this
product, but why characterize it's use as improper? Respectfully, Tom
Driscoll

Has anybody used a liquid called "hammer softener"? Pianotek sells it. I
assume the responses will be that it's no substitute for proper voicing
techniques, but I'm curious if anybody has found an appropriate use for
the stuff.
