<BR><BR>I've heard plenty of good things about pin driving fluid, =
but
haven't tried <BR>it. I drill the block in the piano, and haven't =
been able
to picture a <BR>method of getting the varnish into the block =
without
spending half a day, <BR>getting it all over the plate and bushings, =
or
both. If you get away with <BR>drilling Delignit that far undersize, =
with
one pass, and get a good uniform <BR>pin torque that doesn't twist =
the pins
off, it's probably because of the <BR>varnish. So tell me, how do =
you get
the varnish in the block without <BR>getting it all over the plate? =
Maybe
I'm just neatness challenged.<BR><BR>Ron N<BR></FONT><FONT lang=0

My recent driving fluid experiment were on pieces of block out of the =
piano
and have yet to do it in the actual process. I've got the messy thing =
too but
from what friends have said is they swab a couple rows of pins at a =
time,
string ,swab more holes. It doesn't take a flood of solution to make =
this
work. You can even dip the pin in the varnish, let it drip off then =
drive it
in I would think. Probably easier said than done but One other =
technique was
to cut a slot in a hammer shank and insert a piece of key bushing =
cloth
wider than the shank but smaller than the hole, dip it in the =
solution, then
spin the device in the hole. You know I bet Joe Garrett has some fancy =
fangled
trick, he's a neat freak guy ,right Joe? How about a hypo oiler. Put =
some
drops around the top of the hole then us! e something to =
swab<BR>
So As I now understand it for a no. 2 pin fit in delignit, you bore =
with drill
sizes that are only a couple thous. different so the final reaming =
isn't going
to change the accuracy of the first hole drilled it's just cleaning it =
