<BR>I was wondering if someone would catch that. I could give a smart allec answer, like, the damper felts dry you the minute you get wet, and the small ones can get in all the small crevices. But that's too obvious.

<BR>Richard Anderson gave me this tech tip. Use hot water to soak the dampers. If you have a detachable shower head, you can spray them from the sides. By getting the felts wet, it dissolves the glue. Wait about an hour, and the felts fall off.

<BR>In my house back in Missouri, I had a slop sink in the basement, and I put a shower spray on the nozzle. But here in Alabama, I don't have a slop sink at the university, or at home. So I take the dampers home at night, give them a shower, and by the next morning, the felts fall off. </FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE=3 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0">
