If you?put the iron on the strike point?of the hammer, it will cover an area from about 1-11, which should be sufficient.?You might need to bring it around a little on the smaller hammers.

Wim, you said "Use a linen cloth, like a handkerchief. Make it wet, but not dripping, place it 
over the hammer, and touch the hot hammer iron to the top of the hammer for 
about 1 or 2 seconds."

?

So?I should?steam only at the strike point?? 

?

Or do you also so some steaming at 10 & 2 o'clock, or even lower in the shoulder, 

to give more "give" in the overall hammer when striking the string?

?

Thanks...?? Bill Fritz, StLouis/PTG
