I've not repinned an entire set of these type but why do you think that it's ineffective permanently and what is the issue exactly. Inquiring minds... I think I did post this question once before some time ago but don't think an answer was forthcoming.<div>David Love<br/>www.davidlovepianos.com<br/>(sent from bb)</div><hr/><div><b>From: </b> tnrwim@aol.com </div><div><b>Date: </b>Wed, 26 Sep 2012 14:11:43 -0400 (EDT)</div><div><b>To: </b><davidlovepianos@comcast.net>; <pianotech@ptg.org></div><div><b>Subject: </b>Re: [pianotech] Perma free II</div><div><br/></div><font color='black' size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'> <div>David</div> <div> </div> <div>Good ol' Protec will free up the flange.

I know, alcohol/water w/ heat is the recommended approach but it produces very inconsistent results in the hammer flanges in my experience.
