---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Yes....moot and loofoot and all that I am sure. But WE (field techs) do not glue hammer felt back onto the molding. I have not come across a tool for doing so in the field before, and wonder if the tool you mention is appropriate at all. In anycase its a waste of time. Any way you add it up you are much better off replacing heads. Otherwise I gotta admit I misread the post.... probably because I couldnt dream anyone would seriously consider trying to reglue hammer felt to mouldings in this fashion that were damaged in this fashion.
