<div>Yeah I thought it was your idea Barbara. It works great once you get the feel for the timing. A set is done in an hour. I have a roll around island in the kitchen so I do it next to the stove. The whole setup was free and hanging around the house. </div> <div> </div> <div>I didn't get a chance to look at the steamer in the shop but it was set up with a wide head that spread the steam out over 5 keys. Open the valve, whoosh, shut the valve, pick out the bushings. The keys never leave the rack. It can cut the time in half. I don't do a lot so it's not a priority to up grade </div> <div> </div> <div>Keith<br><br> </div> <div><span class="gmail_quote">On 7/20/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Barbara Richmond</b> <<a href="mailto:piano57@insightbb.com">piano57@insightbb.com</a>> wrote:</span> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid"> <div bgcolor="#ffffff"> <div><font face="Arial" size="2"> <div style="FONT: 10pt arial">Did someone say my name? :-)</div> <div style="FONT: 10pt arial"> </div> <div style="FONT: 10pt arial">I've tried a number of ways and have always come back to the old coffee can set up.  True, the keys aren't clamped together, but it's fast and reliable.</div> <div style="FONT: 10pt arial"> </div> <div style="FONT: 10pt arial">Yes, David, it shoots the steam right where it's needed.</div> <div style="FONT: 10pt arial"> </div> <div style="FONT: 10pt arial">Barbara Richmond, RPT</div> <div style="FONT: 10pt arial">near Peoria, Illinois</div> <div style="FONT: 10pt arial"> </div> <div style="FONT: 10pt arial"> </div> <div style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </div> <div style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial"><b>From:</b> <a title="ilvey@sbcglobal.net" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:ilvey@sbcglobal.net" target="_blank">David Ilvedson</a> </div> <div style="FONT: 10pt arial"><b>To:</b> <a title="keithspiano@gmail.com" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:keithspiano@gmail.com" target="_blank">keithspiano@gmail.com</a> ; <a title="caut@ptg.org" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:caut@ptg.org" target="_blank"> caut@ptg.org</a> </div> <div style="FONT: 10pt arial"><b>Sent:</b> Friday, July 20, 2007 12:18 AM</div> <div style="FONT: 10pt arial"><b>Subject:</b> Re: [CAUT] steamer</div> <div><br> </div> <p>Yeah...I have used a thin strip instead.   I like Barbara's idea of the can and being able to set the key on it loosen the bushing as you remove the one you just loosened.   It seems like it would shoot the steam in the exact location.   Sounds like a simple set up and has got to be faster than my current method of soak several times with the solution and then use a bushing iron to steam each one loose.  The bushings stick to the iron etc....slow... </p> <p><br>David Ilvedson, RPT<br>Pacifica, CA 94044<br><br></p></font></div></div><br clear="all"></blockquote></div><br>
