Regluing hammer felts continued

This is exactly right. It works just fine. I have done this a number 
of times for folks with no other solution, you may not want to sign 
your name to it but it'll get you a bunch of equally crappy referels, 
work is work. Since the storm I have seen so many, especially 
Baldwin, hammers popping off from weeks in high humidity I just haul 
around a stash of extra thick glue and the spritzer. You cant work on 
Bosendorfers every day, at least I cant. Just had a customer move 
back from Dallas to his Steinway M, after what 16 months with a 
borrowed spinet. He said in Plano he couldnt get a tuner to come, 
they all asked what he had and then said "Oh, I dont work on those." 
Ya'll must be doing well over there! :-)
