I've always heard it's a no-no on pianos but I haven't heard exactly why. I know some technicians who use it. What is the main downside of it. Another lubricant I've seen other techs use is LPS-1. An old mentor of mine used it for a lot of piano related lubricating so I used it for a while when i was starting out. However, I noticed that most high level technicians were not using it so I stopped. Anyone have thought on LPS-1?
