hammers felt coming apart

[John Ross]

Don't forget, Pianotek has a special spring clamp for this job.
I bought one at the convention in KC, but as with a lot of my tools, haven't had a chance to use it yet.

  The best thing I have found to use is rubber bands. Loop them around the hammer felt until they are tight and let them set until the glue is dry and then just cut them off. I understand that violin makers use them a lot in their craft for clamping.

    You might try using long nose vice grips to hold the felt while glue cures.
