Same goes for using bronzing powder with a water based clear lacquer, unless of course you like a GREEN plate. Now if that's not specific to pianos I don't know what is! >Greg Newell When using a water-based finish material, steel wool can not be used. Even the finest particles left in the pores will start to rust and discolor the finish over time. Synthetic steel wool (Scotch Brite) is the product to use.
