[CAUT] S&S hammer flange rail material and cheap mylar

[reggaepass at aol.com]

 Jim,

Would there be any reason not to use both ribbon and sandpaper?? Does the ribbon in do its job best when it is directly against the flange ?? Or would it still act as a noise damper between the sandpaper and the rail?

Alan,

FWIW, Wally Brooks says that the ribbon is used because it has an definite 
effect on tone. It acts as a sound "absorber", and if you experiment and put the 
ribbon under a few and sandpaper under others you will notice more "action 
noise" with the sandpaper. I tried it, and sure enough I heard a difference. I 
still use sandpaper most the time but you might want to stick with the ribbon, 
cloth, or whatever the stuff is, according to Wally.
