:1 was now in use.   Be aware that the thinner mix goes into the hammer 
deeper and spreads out more, so it doesn't get the same effect.  This doping

some experience, and going a little conservative is probably easier to 
recover 
from than the opposite. 
Good luck.

    Hi Ed
   Yes,  but on the other hand if the hammers are really too soft the 5 to 1- 
will not get the hammer felt stiff enough & trying to switch to a thicker 
solution (3-1) solution later will only encounter the blocking effect of the 
first application & the 3-1 to 1 can't get in as far as it needs to go. 
    I rather suggest experimenting on only a few hammers at a time in 
different registers to determine the appropriate remedy. I like to stick a single 
needle in various hammers as a probe to get a feel of the inherent stiffness or 
lack of it. If you call the mixture wrong on one at least you didn't whole sale 
treat em all & then say oops I shoulnda done that!. Ask me how I know?
