Mix gently over a light open air stove, adding the Cortisanate carefully and only a little bit at a time do to its explosive nature. Let cool and place in an double open ended jar, chilly and dry for storage. To use simply place a teaspoon on a 1X6X12 board with  as many black keys as you can comfortably space on the board. Cover with an aquarium or some such type semi air tight box and wait  6 to 7 weeks. They will fall off by themselves.... along with the bushing felt, and any damper lift felt that may be present. Be advised, Brass captans tend to turn purple, but the polish nicely afterwards. -- Richard Brekne </BLOCKQUOTE> Richard I have used this idea, too, but I had to use Costa Rican puppins and penguin oil. Other than that, your're directions are perfect. Wim </HTML>
