<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> Wim,     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.

The original question was how ;long to wait after applying LACQUER. A response was made but refering to ACETONE  / KEYTOP. Wim, you now apply the post that a S & S tech used with Actone / keytop to Lacquer. For those of us who wish to stay on the same page ... which are we talking about???? Greg</blockquote> I really don't think it makes much difference. Either solution contain solids, that are absorbed by the fibers of the hammer. If the solids are not allowed to dry and adhere to the fibers, they are going to be pounded out.
