Immediately start jamming your<br>paint brush down between the tuning pins to help loosen the gunk.<br>Immediately start vacuuming up the residue. If you can tilt the piano on<br>its side, Doug Gregg says that works best since gravity is drawing the<br>liquid down. <br><br>Instead of using a vacuum immediately, you can also use compressed air<br>to force the now liquid bubbles all to an edge or corner for vacuuming.<br><br>The vacuum/compressed air helps what little moisture gets around the<br>tuning pins evaporate faster.<br><br>I've only done it once and it turned out alright.<br><br>Good luck,<br>John Parham <br><br>> -------- Original Message --------<br>> Subject: [pianotech] Scrubbing bubbles<br>> From: Dale Erwin <<a ymailto="mailto:erwinspiano@aol.com" href="javascript:return">erwinspiano@aol.com</a>><br>> Date: Thu, January 10, 2013 1:31 pm<br>> To: <a ymailto="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org" href="javascript:return">pianotech@ptg.org</a><br>> <br>> <br>> Hi All<br>> A while back I recall a discussion about using scrubbing bubbles around the tuning pin field to clean up under the strings ans such. Imam out on a Job right now and could use some immediate advice/help on the procedures,applicators,dry time and most of all effectiveness. I will check posts and or if anyone has some experience and would like to call my cell with collegial and friendly advice, I,d welcome it <br>> 209-985-0990. The smugging, discoloration looks like a mouse or cat has been tracking around up there. Maybe it was the mouse first followed by the cat.
