Terry,
To what do you attribute the better results  when using the fabric softener?
Do you think it adds "body" to the hammer without the hardness? Obviously
we're trying to get space, or air, in with the felt to add the resiliency
and softer characteristics. When you do use the concoction suggested, do you
find that a heavy filing is required as Del Fandrich alluded to sometime
back?
