I like shellac, made from ultrablonde flakes. If mixed with 190 proof alcohol, it dries very fast, and I like the tone better than keytop in acetone. Less harsh and brittle. I use very little, near the strike area. I've never used it to build up hammers from scratch. Anyone else? Susan > I would like to know what people's favorite hammer hardeners are. I know that a lacquer based solution requires some time for the results to show whereas the acetone/keytop mixture works real quick. >Any comments? > >-Matt
