Did you use one of those plastic hypo oilers to apply it? If so how many containers did you use? Did you try to fully soak the felt behind the strike point, apply it from the sides, from the top, from both sides, if from the sides did you let it soak up to the top strike point, in a v pattern, the whole hammer, middle and shoulders? Could you please describe what your goal was and how you decided that it appeared to need a second application on some. Just curious. Congratulations on the successful job and the happy client.
