Isaac,

I use Protek and find it often does the job but occasionally it=
 will do nothing.  I can't say as I've found it to seize up=
 centers.  I'm using Joe Goss' Goose Juice also these days and it=
 seems to work well.  What the difference between it and Protek=
 is, I don't know. 

David I.

In my experience Protek CLP make some bushings very sluggish or=
 even blocking after some time.
 
Have no correlation between the kind of bushings (Renner most=
 probably ) that produce these results on a regular basis.
 
The lists being mostly driven by US techs and Protek being an Us=
 product widely used, nobody seem to answer to these questions=
 most probably because of the political correct attitude on the=
 lists (is not it guys ?)
 
So let me say that is how I understand your silence on that=
 matter (strange as you=92re generally willing to talk on any=
 product/process used)
 
 
 
Happy Christmas to all.

firmness versus friction.
    No other manufacturer uses this method. Most others are pure,=

 All others

 shrinking/sizing with 
alcohol/water. Steinway will not respond to either, due to that

 is 
available (at least in colder climes) as gas line "de-freezer."=
 Eric 
Schandall says he thinks ethanol will work as well.

When I was at Steinway last summer, I could have sworn Eric told=
 us to use Protek on the bushings. I will see if I can find=
 methanol here in "warm and sunny" Alabama.
