Unbuttoned Jacks

[Yardbird47@aol.com]

Someone remind me because it's been awhile since I've done this. Soon I'm
going to regulate a grand action whose jacks have no spoons or buttons.
What's a quick, accurate and stable way of setting the jack under the
knuckle? I seem to remember taking snippets of the skin from a flat damper
strip, or maybe some white nameboard felt. (But my memory grows dim with the
passing years....)
