Re: re-lacquer problem?

Morris, how did you strip the laquer off your trumpet? You said that it is the first one you sent in for a new laquer job. I wonder if another horn stripped the same way might get the same results from another tech. No judgment here, just trying to use that good old "scientific method," which, although it doesn't always work with violists and conductors, might work here.

I assume that nobody is lying, but simply stating reality as they see it.

I suspect that maybe, just maybe, the chemicals you used to strip your trumpet might be immune to the normal cleaning solutions used by techs. Nobody at fault here, mind you, but just perhaps a scientific anomaly to be investigated and perhaps solved.

I (and some others, I think) would love to know the answer!
