I apologize - sometimes I know my responses as a = teeny little bit smart a$$y. You are correct - their felt products are = not on the web site. I simply called them. You can order as many or as = few as you wish. Only one size. If I recall correctly, they are $2 per = strip (but I could be WAY off with that). I honestly don't know how to rush drying the bushings. I've always just = done it in my shop and had the luxury of time. I'd be tempted to = experiment with other glues like Titebond in the shop first to make sure = it didn't go too far into the felt (maybe use sparingly and let air dry = until tacky???). Have you used the Renner bushing felt before? Be sure to use their = training tool (to get the felt to go through the flange easy. I pull my = felt through the flange, one cut, thread a bunch of flanges on a long = center pin wire (or individual wires), and then apply a 50/50 mix of = water/alcohol and let dry overnight. Works great. Depending on how much = friction you are after controls what size wire you use to for sizing.=20 Terry Farrell ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Alan=20 To: 'Pianotech'=20 Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2005 12:58 PM Subject: RE: Where's the action (cloth)? Well, thanks Terry.=20 I had checked out their website but if they post any prices or even = list their felt products on there, they sure have them hidden. I emailed = them. Do you have to call them to order, THEN find out the cost? If so, = that would be very Steinway of them. I guess for field repairs, one could dab on a little Titebond. Alan R.

Alan R. Barnard asks: "Who sells Renner cloth?" Ummmmmm......... Renner www.rennerusa.com . I just ordered some = from them a week or so ago. I assume you are speaking of action center = bushing cloth (that's the pre-glued stuff)? "From those who use it, please: Bill Spurlock says to let the = pre-glued stuff dry for "several hours." This would not seem to work if = used for field repairs or the RPT Technical ... thoughts?" Yup, takes a few hours - at least. I just let it dry overnight. How = well do you know your client? Might need to use plain cloth and hot hide glue - oops, there we go = again, now we've got to heat hot hide glue on-site - for one little = action center bushing? Just might need to bring part back to shop, fix and return at a = later date. "Quality work can't be rushed!" Check out some of the piano = manufacturers web sites - I'm sure you'll find some good sounding stuff = there from their marketing departments.... "What stock of sizes should one purchase, not for shop work but just = the odd field repair?" I stock all of their one size - that way I can always have the right = size!
