"Homely Depot" is this defamation of character? :-)

Mike, I use a small curved surform tool to remove all the rail felt glue
from the back of the rail and have had little trouble with glue or wire
in the holes. The few I have had I used a voicing needle chucked into a
pin vise with the point cut off to make it fairly flat. You can make
it flatter by just barely touching the end to the <u>side</u> of a bench
grinder stone.
