It wasn't real velvet but some kind of fake with a sort of plastic
base...hard to describe but it is a bit tougher and when you cut it it
doesn't spread as many threads as velvet. I used it on a CS80
ribboncontroller with great success.

5-56 action.

Propably.

>>Don't know if I'd do this with all types of painted surfaces though.

I usually test it first on a small area. 
I used it with great results on korg/roland/yamaha/sequential
screenprinted panels (SH7, SH09,Poly6, MonoPoly, CS15, CS40M, P5 and
more) but it doesn't work well on plastic panels like TR909 and that
type of materials.
It is very important not to leave the 5-56/WD40 on the panel for a long
time, I don't know what it will do if you forget it on...there is
propably some nasty chemicals in there!

>Send the plumbers a bill!! ;-)

They propably will tell me "Would you have liked a few hundred liters
of sewage instead?" and laugh...
