Thanks Robin

I'm almost afloat with odd tools - but I neither have one nor have I come
across one of these in our archaic Brit piano supply houses. We're very much
in the backwater here as my colleague Richard of Wales is quick to observe.
So I shall look this up with greatest interest, Robin.

Thanks

 Michael. I'm surprised you do not have a felt guillotine for cutting
parallel strips of felt etc.

There is a picture on this page, but there are far better guillotines
available.

Hi Michael,

Would a coating of that rubber cement for paper, work.

When dry, the higher friction should help.

When finished, it could be removed, by pealing, or solvent.
