Our own John Foy did a technical at one of our Central North Carolina (www.ptg.org/cnc) chapter meetings on his invention called the "Drench-a-Torium" made from a length of PVC pipe cut lengthwise somewhere close to half (as Guy pointed out in one of his earlier posts). John used it to soak off dampers but it should also work for leaching lacquer out of hammer too. It seems the real trick was in cutting a straight slice down the length of the pipe. John's set up worked quite well. I don't think there is a patent or drawings. <gr>. Kindest Regards, Garret Garret Traylor garret@highpointpiano.com http://www.highpointpiano.com/pages/caut.html
