---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi, I highly recommend giving the hammers a good blast of 50/50 water and alcohol. I don't use fabric softener. I have found that the results are about the same. You may need several applications if they are exceptionally hard- the shoulders, strike point, the works. You will discover that this is a GREAT way to voice hammers once you get the hang of it. I use the stuff even in fine voicing a drop at a time in specific areas. It really cuts down on the amount of needling required and if you are skilled at it you will be amazed at how close you can get without so much as a pin prick, (although I recommend the "fine tuning" so to speak with the needle). Anyway, yes, drown them. It won't hurt them, it is reversible, and they ain't gunna be hard no more.
