applying Teflon powder

[Barbara Richmond]

Forgot to add, that I keep my Teflon applicators--I have two, the one you saw and a top treble hammer modified--in a little ziplock bag.  I love those ziplock bags that Pianotek uses for their products.   I've found a use for all of them.

  Hi William,

  My iron has inline switch (which isn't marked).  It didn't take long for me to realize that if I took a permanent marker and made a slash on it when I got it at the right temperature I wouldn't have to test for temperature anymore.   I just make sure the slashes line up (never turn it off) and plug or unplug it to turn it on or off.  Yeah...I know how to handle technology...

    Hi Barbara,

    I Like it!  I also iron with the broaches, and have done it both ways - before and after applying the Teflon.  I think I generally prefer before as the Teflon grabs a bit better before the bushing cloth is flattened more with the iron.  I assume you use a dial temperature control?  How hot do you like to set the iron?

    Thanks for the useful tool.

    Best,
    William R. Monroe

      Here's a picture of one of my Teflon applicators (no, it's not a Christmas light, I just found the picture in that folder).
