Removing Underfelt

[Doepke Family]

Dear List and Carol,
What an awesome list this is..all the information!  Wow!

I did have some Methyl alcohol on hand and used your advice.  I applied it
with a hypo-oiler (for better aim) and you were right.  I hardly had to file
at all!!

Thanks

I use a little bottle of Methyl alcohol that sells in gas stations (fuel
line additive in winter to keep water from condensing in the gasoline) that
cost less than $1.

It only takes a little bit to saturate all the felt on the damper heads,
wait a few minutes, and all the felt comes off!  Couldn't be easier.
