For sealing porous wood. Dries clear and seals the smallest cracks or pin-hole leaks 100% with just one application. Can be brushed or poured and drained. It is strongly recommended that any internal surfaces which are exposed to vacuum be coated with this product. Phenoseal is slightly plastic and will stretch and contract with changes in temperature and humidity without cracking or pulling away, as is the case with the original shellac or varnish sealers. Phenoseal will stick to the original sealers, so removing them is not necessary. Phenoseal remains slightly tacky, so DO NOT coat a surface that a valve will seat on. (Read my article in the Mechanical Music Digest -click here.) Sold in 8 oz. plastic bottles for $21.00. This product is a proprietary blend that is only available at Player-Care. The recommended temperature for using Phenoseal is 70 degrees F. or higher. Normal shelf life is 6 months.. Also, check out the "Hypo-Oiler" for $8.45 with any size order -click here To place an order, Click Here. .

If Phenoseal freezes, it becomes worthless. So, if you order it during the Winter, you are, by default, responsible for the consequences. You have been warned!

One of the more common problems with the modern Aeolian line of player pianos involves the hammer return springs. These springs break indiscriminately. While no one knows for certain why they break, most agree that it's because of either metal fatigue or corrosion (due to the felt under the coil). Making matters worse, these springs are not readily available because they are much shorter than regular hammer return springs. Cost is $0.35 each, $3.12/dozen, or $16.00/100.

Dow Corning 111 Silicon Grease is a space-age product, used on satellites in outer space, and it doesn't evaporate. It's also a very large molecule and doesn't soak deeply into wood, rendering it unglue-able, as do animal oils. It's a very friendly material for sealing pouches when thinned properly.

As Craig Brougher states in his excellent article, 'How To Make Sensitive Pouches', "I spent the time required to try out all this stuff to see what really was the best, overall. I'll happily put my money on silicone grease." Each 'pillow-pack' contains just over 6 grams (0.22 oz.) of grease. That's enough to make just over 6 fluid ounces of pouch sealant.

The cost is $3.85 per pack. To order, Click Here.

Plastic Glue
Due to the possibility of freezing, shipping during the Winter is not recommended. (See Note)

Plastic glue is the only glue that is recommended for gluing nylon cloth to wood. The cost for 8 fluid ounces of the glue is $12.00. Comes in a plastic squeeze bottle and a tapered tip for easy glue application.

Using this glue is much easier than using hot animal hide glue. Besides the fact that there's no preparation needed, you have a little more time to make slight adjustments in the positioning of the cloth. Also, trimming is much easier because the glue doesn't get 'rock hard' like other types of wood glues. For more information about the glue, click here and here. However, for gluing cotton-backed cloth to wood, we always recommend using animal hide glue. To see why, click here.

To place an order, Click Here. Specify "Plastic Glue". Only sold in 8 oz. bottles. .

IMPORTANT NOTICE!! If Plastic glue freezes, it becomes worthless. So, if you order it during freezing weather, you are, by default, responsible for the consequences. You have been warned! (Product freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit.) To see images of what the glue looks like after it has thawed out, click here.

As can be seen in the picture above, these caps are often damaged beyond repair because they typically get pried off with a putty knife or chisel.

The tool is made from 1/8" laser-cut steel, and polished to remove sharp edges. Cost is $18.50. To place an order, Click Here.

Unless otherwise requested, all orders are sent by USPS Priority Mail/w Delivery Confirmation.

As of January 19, 2021: Once a parcel has been received by the carrier, Player-Care is in no way liable for its safe arrival. If the parcel gets damaged, lost, or stolen, you will have to deal with the carrier. All we can do is provide proof that the item was received by the carrier and the value of the contents. Also, we will note the value of the order when we process the shipping label. However, that will be of little value if the order isn't insured.

Again, since the customer is the person who is paying for the postage and/or buying the insurance, it is the customer's responsibility to file a claim with USPS should that become necessary. However, Player-Care will gladly supply all the information we have with regards to the items purchased and the value of those items.

What about Defective or Returned Goods?

If merchandise is defective, I will refund your money plus the shipping costs related to that item.

If you purchased the wrong product or decide that you don't want it, it can be returned within 90 days for a refund or credit minus a 15% re-stocking fee. Also, you will not be reimbursed for the shipping costs. Items that are cut to a specific size/length are not returnable unless the size is deemed common or average. Examples: One foot of cloth is a normal width. Six inches of tubing is NOT returnable. Small items cut to your specifications are NOT returnable.
