compression of punchings

[John Musselwhite]

>I routinely iron new felt puchings before I install them.  For

If I recall it was Susan Graham who suggested tieing sets of punchings
inside discarded panty-hose legs and washing and drying them before ironing.
I haven't tried that myself as I would think that might remove too much of
the resilience from the felt.

Does anyone wash punchings before ironing them?
