GHreetings Rodger, What do you mean by pre-filed? Is that filed before I needled them? If so, Yes, I have filed the grooves out of the hammers, but I hear the hammers' tone get more sublte when I file them, not brighter. Is this just a matter of syntax/word preference or is there a particular methiod of filing that will make the hammers brighter? Afterall I AM a rookie. Thanks again, Juli Gottshall READING, pa In a message dated 4/5/2006 9:46:32 PM Eastern Standard Time, roger.j at sasktel.net writes: Hi Julie, The sand paper is only used if you apply too much spray. The nice thing about this method , is that there is a small amount of material and will not soak into the hammer very far. It's dry in a few minutes. Use a very light grade of sand paper about 400 grit, if needed. I am assuming the hammers have been pre filed to obtain some extra brightness.

Mask off the surrounding hammers, Spay the crown with a light coat of hair spray, should bring back the sparkle. Easy to reverse, by lightly sanding, very controlled. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
