Hi Roger, 
    So you are actually using the PVC-E as a gap-filler to a large extent,
judging from the pic and your description. I guess that makes sense, as it
has enough flexibility/spring when dry to keep from being noisy, like, say
tite-bond (how would I know that?)
    Love those felt knuckles. Those were the good old days <g>. Actually,
they were maybe a bit better than the rock-hard cow hide ones. Depending
what problem irritates you more.
Regards,
