Jeff,

Yes, it works if used intelligently---and intelligently almost always =
means sparingly!   :-)   I've used all sorts of hammer softening stuff =
and have different "recipes" that include fabric softener, the result of =
having been hired at a university where there were a bazillion =
over-lacquered hammers and no parts budget.  The secret (besides going =
slow) is knowing exactly where you want it, and carefully observing how =
each kind wicks in. =20

I know, I know, there are folks who say it gunks up the felt (and I =
imagine it can) and claim the hammers will never sound good, but that =
simply hasn't been my experience.

  The interesting question here to me is the effectiveness of fabric =
softener as a voicing tool.  Is it possible that it could be effective, =
if used intelligently, minus all the steaming, burning, etc.?  What is =
the active ingredient in fabric softener, anyway (I must confess I've =
never used the stuff; I like my clothes rough and macho, fabricly =
speaking;-).
