Hammer felt loose from core

[Ted Simmons]

A month or 2 ago we had a discussion about what to do about hammer felt
that has broken away from the core.  I tried all of the glues that were
suggested, tied the hammer up with heavy cord,let the glue dry overnight
and in the morning cut away the cords.  Everything looked o.k. but about an
hour later I discovered that the felt was slowly breaking away again.  I
used Weldbond, Titebond, Super glue, contact cement, and epoxy.  None of
them held.  So, Newton, I think it was you who said to replace the hammers.
Pat yourself on the back.  That's what my next step is.
