[CAUT] hammer softener

[Paul T Williams]

Wim,

I tried steaming on two M and H model A's, but I steamed to the point I 
thought I would damage something and got very little results.  I know I 
should just replace the hammers this summer and perhaps I will.  Right 
now, I need the immediate results.  The softener worked albeit with plenty 
put on.  How much steam would be too much?  I haven't had any felt come 
off the moudlings yet.  Maybe this is why they call them practice rooms! 
I'll try a bit more steaming down the hall!

Thanks

Paul

Instead of hammer softener, have you considered steaming them?
