---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Arthur - Your point is well-taken, but I must not have run into any weak water-soluble glue as I have never had any veneer loosen by the introduction of any water wash, TSP included. Granted, common sense is called for in that you would not leave the surface flooded with water for any appreciable time. What I like about the TSP is that, given a surface that is totally free of finish, it will often remove more color than any of the solvent washes, without resorting to bleaches. This assumes, of course, that this is your goal.... Regards - Mark Potter pianolac@bestweb.net wrote: >List, I agree with Mark on all points except the tsp, which must be dissolved in water.

With dyes you should be able to return its color to a hue similar to the rest of the piano. Or, you can choose to leave it lighter for contrast. > >Good luck! > >Mark Potter > > _______________________________________________ pianotech list info: https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
