Woa! That is one wicked looking tool.

I think you misunderstood me. I used the steam to remove the old felt and it
works wonderfully.

The mystery is why did the balance rail turn out too loose and the front
rail a little snug? Check out
http://www.spurlocktools.com/id55_two_caul_method.htm to see the method and
tools I use to put the new cloth in. There is also a picture of the glue pot
there which is just like what I use to steam the old felt out with.

Hi Dean,

We never had problems of felt falling out with the steam method where I
work.
We use a steam tool. I attached the picture. Maybe it is the same thing that
you use.
It is very fast and easy to use, and as you said it is perfect for balance
holes that were too big.
Maybe the wood was too wet.
Is there a possibility to dry it with a heat source, in order to prevent the
felt to fall down after it has been glued?

Quentin
