step 4
Place the wooden bridge in the microwave again, as in
step 2 but with the Pirastro Korfkerrest engraving
facing downwards. heat for
1 minute at 450 Watts
.
remove the wood with oven gloves and let it cool down.
From now on, do not try to bend the wood as it will break.
the rest can now be reassembled.
the rubber pads can be reattached after hardening the
wood, although they may not stick as well as before. if they
do not regain stickiness after a day, replace them with the
new ones provided.
if after following this procedure maximum and more
permanent stiffness of the wood is required, remove the legs,
torx screws and locking disks and peel off the rubber pads.
read the instructions under »hardening in a conventional
oven« carefully and follow
only step 4
for a maximum of
3 minutes at 200º C.
PlEasE notE:
some microwave ovens express power in percentages or
steps. in those cases please refer to the instruction manual
of the microwave oven to come as close to 450 Watts as
possible. if in doubt choose one step below 450 Watts.
microwave ovens can vary in accuracy of power output
and Pirastro cannot accept responsibility for the results of
using poorly calibrated ovens.
replacing the rubber pads
When a rubber pad has worn out, it can be peeled off using
the finger lift under the tip of the pad. Peel the backing off
one of the replacement rubber pads included with your
cradle. start by aligning the round hole exactly around the
torx flange screw, then align the eyes in the rubber with the
eyes in the wood. aligning the eyes might require slight
stretching or compressing of the rubber, depending on how
strongly the rest has been bent. Before using, press the whole
rubber pad strongly onto the wood, starting at the edges.
