Same Topic - Different, (appropriate), Title - Damper Swoosh

[Alan]

I paid a small fortune for them thar pliers but only used them once
because it seemed to smoosh out the felt and make it too long--the very
problem that started this thread. Didn't try ironing with them, though.

Another tool for curbing damper swoosh is the pliers from Renner that
are
used to squeeze the tips of the bi/tri-chord felt. If I have this
problem,
in the shop, I lay the head of the pliers on the hot plate, (coffee
warmer
type), so the head is heated. This seems to eliminate a lot of that
"Swoosh".
