Hi Richard, I experimented with this before the linen cloth, and it worked fine. With practice you get to know the cloth. (how wet or damp) and can almost predict the result. The tip of the iron becomes very precise in locating where you want the steam to be active. Using the iron inverted will also target a zone of the hammer accurately.
