Mike, <br><br>
Why do you reach "up under"? I thought it should be applied
from the top!<br><br>

I use a small (#2?) round artist brush, bristles about 3/8"
long. Seems to reach up under the pressure bar pretty well.
Disadvantage: Every time you dip the brush into the bottle, you're
washing piano grime off the brush into your Pro-Tec, so don't refill your
squirter from the same bottle you dip the brush in.<br>

<dd><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=2>I have had good success with
using ProLube to lubricate the string bearing points in older and/or
rusty pianos. Any opportunity to reduce the risk of string breakage is
alright with me. Since I don't want any of it to contaminate other parts
of the piano I don't actually spray it, but have instead been using a
cotton swap to apply it. I'm writing today because there just has to be a
better way. Especially when you want to get some onto those contact
points behind the pressure bar on a small upright. Any suggestions?<br>
