Terry,
Indeed this can be another weapon in your voicing arsenal toolbox. Here in
Seattle we were introduced to this by Darrrell Fandrich RPT several years
ago. You will find that the needle heats up a great deal and you may want to
reduce friction by using a little beeswax from time to time on the needle
for easier insertion. Personally I still prefer steam or water and alcohol
for fluffing up the recalcitrant Asian hammers.
