I'm going to try 150 grit sandpaper this time to see what happens. There's another reason they call them "practice" rooms :>) A bare rail just didn't seem right to me. Something, no matter what material, I think, needs to be used, and I thank you all for your different ideas on this. But, why spend more money when I didn't have the sticky stuff on hand and would have to wait several days to be able to even begin! Great help you all are! Best for a great weekend! Go Big Red tomorrow! Got to get by the suprise ending of last week ;>( Paul From: Jon Page <jonpage at comcast.net> To: caut at ptg.org Date: 09/25/2009 02:34 PM Subject: Re: [CAUT] Action Rail Flange Cloth I saw a less than mediocre rebuild today with a bare rail. Even with the screws tight, the flanges could be turned. How can the felt reduce impact noise with the screw transmitting the energy to the rail. I use fine emery cloth which I buy in a roll from Klingspor and cut 1/2' wide, long strips. I use double- sided tape used to affix plastic sheeting to windows; 3M makes a 1/2" wide tape for this...perfect. Once the cloth is down, sometimes continuous, I punch a few holes with an awl and install the flanges, punch a few more... The tape and cloth can be inserted under the tenor, thin brass support by bending it upwards slightly and then straightening. -- Regards, Jon Page -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
