On a couple of recent gigs I've had to record pianos with squeaky
pedals. I know that's the domain of the tuner/maintainer guy, but his
neglect doesn't cut it when it's time to record.

Is there a safe and useful spray or liquid I can apply to temporarily
silence the mechanism without causing any permanent mechanical or
cosmetic damage?

Use LPS 2 .. Use only LPS2 no other LPS product. This is a non oil, non
silcone product. I've used it for 34 years on all my woodworking
equipment. Leaves no residue on wood when applied properly and with
restraint. It does not attack lacquer finishes and can be easily wiped
of with a clean cloth. Recommended lubricant from almost all machinery
manufactures. Never use wd-40. This is not a lubricant It is a solvent
and desolves other lubricants.

Correct that to LPS1 Sorry. LPS 2 is like wd-40 . It is LPS 1 that
leaves no film or oils and will not attack paints,.
Sorry

No one really explained whats squeaking. Sounds like metal to metal
to me. So whats my favorite lubs. For metal, just about anything will temporarily
stop or reduce squeeking. If I was there, I think the best product is a TFE
spray I use. I think it was by Solder Seal, and comes out foamy and thick.
Not a dry lube only, but is pretty heavy duty, and can flow into joints.
For some reason, I want to try to use Trumpet valve oil. I think its silicone
based, but its something thats frequently around.
