hammer felt separated

[Farrell]

Paul, that's why they attack the hammer flange with a screw - so that you can remove it after gluing it to your fingers! The only trick is to do it with one hand (especially on a spinet!).

  There is a way to repair separated hammer felt without clamps, wire or thread.  Coat the molding with thick CA (superglue) and press the felt down while spraying accelerator on the joint.  Or spray the accelerator on the felt first, then paint the CA glue on the molding and press together.  Another trick is to paint Elmers on one surface and CA glue on the other.  The moisture in the Elmer's will catalize the CA glue.  Just be careful not to glue your fingers to the hammer (don't ask!).  Good luck.
