Hello Veterans, So I've always used pre-cut felt for damper guide rail bushing. Decided to "do the right thing" and tear it from the bolt. Y'know that sick feeling in your gut, like when you're polishing a just installed set of keytops and you melt one? Well, I went to make the first tear, and, ugh. Felt sick. A big piece of bushing cloth is not cheap, and that first tear went at an angle. I tore fairly quickly, thinking it proper, and over the course of about 30cm, the cloth went from about 9mm wide to about 17mm wide. What did I do wrong??? Or is there a bias to the material that you can't discover until you tear the first strip? Then, do the following strips tear straight? Thanks for your advice. William R. Monroe
