Voicing down hammers

Yes, that would be true.  Do you mean that someone actually treated a set of
oh-my-god-ow-wa hammers with keytop solution?  Masochists!

David,  I'm under the understanding that if a 
hammer is treated with acetone and keytops, like 
I'm sure this set was, then straight acetone 
will help break down the plastic..is that not true?
