[CAUT] Action Rail Flange Cloth

[Paul T Williams]

I'm going to try 150 grit sandpaper this time to see what happens. There's 
another reason they call them "practice" rooms :>)
A bare rail just didn't seem right to me.  Something, no matter what 
material, I think, needs to be used, and I thank you all for your 
different ideas on this.  But, why spend more money when I didn't have the 
sticky stuff on hand and would have to wait several days to be able to 
even begin! 

Great help you all are!

Best for a great weekend!  Go Big Red tomorrow!  Got to get by the suprise 
ending of last week ;>(

Re: [CAUT] Action Rail Flange Cloth



I saw a less than mediocre rebuild today with a bare rail.
Even with the screws tight, the flanges could be turned.

How can the felt reduce impact noise with the screw
transmitting the energy to the rail.

I use fine emery cloth which I buy in a roll from
Klingspor and cut 1/2' wide, long strips. I use double-
sided tape used to affix plastic sheeting to windows;
3M makes a 1/2" wide tape for this...perfect.

Once the cloth is down, sometimes continuous, I punch
a few holes with an awl and install the flanges,
punch a few more...

The tape and cloth can be inserted under the tenor,
thin brass support by bending it upwards slightly and
then straightening.
