Knuckles/Graphite

[Joseph Garrett]

Hello


   I would like to clean knuckles by removing old graphite . I read in =
the Reblitz the way to clean is to use a solution of eight parts naphtha =
to one part mineral oil in a hypo-oiler. Is this technique still used ?=20


Thanks=20

Jack,
Forget the Mineral Oil!!!!!!!! Just use Naptha. You can also use Perk, (a
dry cleaning solution), or "Renuzit", (another dry cleaning
solvent/solution). Lubricate with "micro fine Teflon. IMO, Graphite has
little or no use in pianos. It's olde technology that has caused more
problems than it solved!
