Yeah, but now you can't pet your cat without zinging sounds from your crusty fingers.

One time I was faced with the problem of some crusty treble damper felts in an upright that were causing that "zinging" sound when damping the strings. It wasn't a sever case, and the felts had to be sanded very lightly with the finest grit sandpaper out there. Being that I didn't have any, I used a bit on ingenuity by using my index finger as sandpaper - -the part of the finger that makes fingerprints. It seems that the ridges that form the fingerprints are just abrasive enough to do the job on a lightly-crusted damper felt!
