My experiance with Protek is that one application will not hold up, but usually after 2 and plenty of swinging, I see the results I want.

Man, I've probably replaced a handful of jack springs in past years, now I had about 12 in one piano. Sheesh.
   
  Anyway, most of the hammer pinning is okay, I think, in that I can apply Protek, swing them a dozen times, and then measure 5+ swings. But (and here I appeal to people who have used Protek in this manner) can I count on that to hold up, or will they tighten up again?
