The knuckle is the single biggest source of friction in the grand action. Despite graphite or polymer coatings on the repetition lever, friction levels often remain high enough to adversely affect touch weight and cause squeaking. While dry lubricants such as talc or One-Puff will work to some degree, none are as effective or long-lasting as the correct grade of PTFE powder. After corresponding with the Du Pont Company and testing numerous types and grades of PTFE micro-powders, we found one which is optimum for piano applications. We package it in 1 oz., 2.5 oz., 8 oz., and 20 oz. containers. (1 oz will treat about 12 sets of grand knuckles)</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER COLSPAN=2 HEIGHT= 292 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="16e071e0.jpg" border=0 width="519" height="286" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER COLSPAN=2 HEIGHT= 120 WIDTH="521"><div> <B>TEFLON</B><FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Verdana" ><B>®</B></FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Verdana" > </FONT>PTFE powder is especially valuable when making touchweight measurements on grand actions, since it will typically reduce friction by about 2 grams compared to other lubricants, and virtually eliminates the  static  friction (reluctance of the action parts to start moving), so that you no longer have to tap the bench top to get the key moving when measuring downweight or upweight. Thus the job goes faster and your measurements are more consistent.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER COLSPAN=2 HEIGHT= 238 WIDTH="521"><div> <B>Price: $6.00/1 oz, $12.50/2.5 oz, $24.00/8 oz,</B></div> <div> <B>$50.00/20 oz.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Tip:</B><B> </B>Applying the powder to knuckles</div> <div> This product should be applied to knuckles with a small, natural bristle brush. (Never rub it on with fingers since skin oils can contaminate knuckle leather and potentially cause squeaking). A stencil brush about 5" long as shown below is by far the best type we have found. It fits easily into the neck of our small bottle, and the bristles hold enough powder to treat two octaves or so. These brushes are available at craft or art supply stores.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="0d68b3d0.jpg" border=0 width="395" height="61" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></B></div> <div> Teflon<FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Verdana" >®</FONT> is a registered trademark of E.
