[CAUT] Fw: water stains

[Ward & Probst, Inc]

I'd give the lid several weeks to stabilize. I seem to remember that some
types of antifreeze contain glycerin as well as alcohol. I'd say you are
past the point of anything resembling a finish repair. More than likely
refinishing will be the best way to go but you will need to wait to see if
the veneer lifts and/or the core delaminates.

Paul.
Its not water but anti-freeze. The radiator broke on stage level and leaked
down the wall into the basement.  The piano cover is ruined -Do  you want
the cover back or should we throw it out????  Also, The Maintenance dept
will need to drain the system - next Wednesday, Nov 22 it an all day event
if it last longer then that I will look into moving the piano to Lied over
Thanksgiving.

Good luck

Water stains can be lessened or removed with denatured alcohol.

It softens the finish and pulls the water out as it evaporates.
It's a little tricky to get the right amount of alcohol applied
and the proper light motion waving over the surface to help
evaporate. Too much rubbing will remove the finish.
