This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Is the vise grip option really all that extreme? Seems like you're trying to break up some rocks, there. I've never tried it, but what about that long thread that ran here a few months ago about steaming hammers? Alan Barnard Salem, MO -----Original Message----- From: pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org]On Behalf Of Dave Nereson Sent: Friday, April 25, 2003 10:06 PM To: pianotech@ptg.org Subject: lacquer softener What can one use to soften hammers that were lacquered at the factory? At first I thought lacquer thinner, but wouldn't that just evaporate and leave them still hard? Tried a voicing needle and broke three of them. The voicing tool just will not go in. Tempted to go to the vise-grips extreme. Surely the wonderful world of chemistry offers some liquid I can drizzle on them. ?? --David Nereson, RPT ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
