---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi All, Today I performed the mundane task of replacing bridle straps in a 15 year old Kawai that had been visited by a little rodent who decided to build his nest from the cotton in said straps. In the process, I used a couple of suggestions from Kawai's Andrew Thomas (the voice at the other end of the tech support line). 1. Use "Simple Green" to break the glue bond. 2. Remove the catchers (and do subsquent cleaning, strap-sizing, and re-gluing. Both suggestions worked quite well. It was still a tedious series of tasks, but in the end the job was done right, AND I had a little rag with simple green on it close by to clean the glue off of my hands. Simple Green(found in most grocery stores) is a welcome option for those of us with an aversion to using toxic chemicals like wallpaper remover in this sort of repair. I used it full strength. Thought y'all might like to know, Dave Stahl ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
