Roger,
<br> Although I did not ask the original question I appreciate
yours and others answers on the subject. I really only posted to help clarify
the original question. Nice to hear from you!

<br><font size=+0> I disagree. I think the answer to
the original question, "how long do I wait" makes a great deal of difference
whether one is using Acetone / Keytop or Lacquer. Lacquer will dry much
slower and acetone / keytop is playable within the time of a normal service
call. This is why I wanted to not mix the topic. If your experience is
different I sure would be interested to hear EXACTLY what materials i.e..
lacquers and in what strengths (mixtures) you are using them.</font>

<font size=+0>Hi Greg,</font>
<br><font size=+0>
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.</font>
<br><font size=+0>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.</font>
