---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment List I still say that mineral oil or silicone won't cure verdigris. I've tr= ied the silicone and toluene as Yamaha directs and it works in some slugg= ish flange cases but is also only a temporary fix for verdigris. The mi= neral oil I've not tried. How bout some feedback from you all with extens= ive experience with it. Be specific. I'm still waiting for the feedback from Dan Reeds post last week Best- Dale Erwin =20 =20 ----- Original Message ----- From: Allan L. Gilreath, RPT Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2001 7:20 AM To: pianotech@ptg.org Subject: RE: naphtha + mineral oil =20 Terry, The original research found this to work better at a concentration of 8 parts naphtha to 1 part silicone. There are other variables that you can get into but I've been working with a chemist on some of these particular= s. But maybe I can play with that more after next summer.
