<DIV><SPAN class=018465719-05092002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff =

usually leave the cauls a few hours, but noticed that the sizing is not =

<DIV><SPAN class=018465719-05092002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff =

I use most often heated brass cauls, I guess the drying is faster (in =
surface
anyway)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=018465719-05092002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff =

hot cauls have given me problems too, hardening the felt too much. I am =
not
really convinced by the sizing tool that can be used in an iron, and =
find the
process a bit hard and unefficient.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=018465719-05092002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff =

take the idea of keeping the cauls in place longer (in fact I often =

night so it may be enough I guess)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
