Hi Greg,
               I recently completed a Steinway D that need 3 applications to
get the power I needed for full Orchestra.  Waited 3 days in between each
application of 4:1 thinner to laquer.  Excellent results.  24hrs is the norm,
but in future I will use the 3 day period if practical.
I would only use the keytop material very sparingly at the strike point
when my
back is against the wall.  1hr. and it's workable.  I don't like the tone it
produces at ppp.  FWIW.

Regards Roger
