repetition spring slot

[Barbara Richmond]

Dave,

Hmm.  Well, I guess someone did use felt there.  Thanks.

I'll take a closer look at this to see if I can tell what the real story is.
If I can make it work with what is already there, I will.  As David
Ilvedson pointed out, the thought of having to clean out every speck
of glue residue/whatever isn't appealing--not that I mind doing the
work, but it would make an already big job (financially, for my friend)
an even bigger job.  I know--it's not <my> fault...
