[CAUT] wippen heels & steam

[Mark Cramer]

a month or so back I mentioned having little success steaming wippen heel
cloth back to shape, but it seems I am wrong.

I was using "loose steam" from a portable steamer, which merely made the
cloth damp.

Since then, I've used an iron and damp cloth as you would if steaming out
crushed wood veneer, and the results are well worth it.

(follow-up with a dry-warm pressing with the iron)

I also recommend bolstering wippen heels if possible/necessary with bushing
cloth, if they don't have this already.

Anything that restores the charactristics of a new well-made part, and
lasts, is worth a try!
