I've had some improvement with Protek, but... Jon, If you insist on trying to patch it up when it needs redone (yea, I know) how about some small heat shrink tubing, slit to slide under the string along the full length that it contacts the felt. Ugly, fur shur, but it might supply the aesthetic tipping point to a real rebuild. <G> Ron N -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
