That Did It! I've been trying to stay out of this, but the "neat Freak" comment put me over the edge! No, I don't have any special tool to do the swabbing of tuning pin holes w/Pin Driving Fluid, (Not McCloskeys Varnish Crap!!!!). (For the explanation of what is Pin Driving Fluid, see the ARCHIVES!) I do it the same way Del showed me 30 years ago....with a spinet hammer shank and a small "med cup". The med cup has about 3/4" of PDF in it. Put the spinet hammer shank into the PDF, all the way to the bottom of the cup. Lift up, and let the PDF drip. When the derned thing quits dripping, insert it into the appropriate hole and swab away. That will put sufficient amount of PDF in the hole. Of course, some of us have LESS of a Klutz factor than others, (I think it's called agility<G>) Now? Wasn't That Easy? [G] I feel better now. <G> Regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) Been There, Didn't Like It, So I'm Here To Stay! [G}
