---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Dave. Dilution or solution of juice will vary depending on how much stiffening up of the felt is required, what part of the scale you're working in ,What type of hammer & what you are trying to achieve. ie. Raw Steinway hammers can often take initial soakings of 3 or 4 to 1 although lately they've been really good and require way less overall. Perhaps a bit more info would helps us dial in a better answer. I use gloss lac & acetone for primary hardening & keytops in acetone for touch up & light crown voicing( break in fluid). Were you at the La convention last week? BTW the server is down for repair Dale Erwin HI list: I tried to search the archives for this because I'm sure the answer is there, but the search is not working for some reason. So, can you folks once again enlighten me on what mixture you use for hardening hammers?? I need to go back to a very nice old chickering grand and try to brighten up the upper octave a bit. Thanks alot Dave McKibben Dale Erwin--Piano Restorations 4721 Parker Rd. Modesto, Calif 95357 Shop 209-5778397 cell 209-985-0990 WWW.
