<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Yes, but I think the idea is when regulating from
scratch, start by installing the thickest punchings. If you are going to have a
total of .048" of paper punchings, maybe make it up with a .025, .015 .007 and a
.001 (or a .005 and .003) rather than two .010, four .005, two .003 and a
.002.</font></div>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">If you are touching up a piano and see two 0.10 -
in most cases I would not bother replacing them with a 0.20, but perhaps if you
saw three .010 and four 0.005, it may well be a good idea to replace with
one 0.045 and a .005.</font></div>

</div>Yeah,
I was sort of playing devil's advocate. I understand...up to a point. I
can see the benefit of having fewer of the very thin ones, and can see where
they might contribute to a spongy feel. What about the point of diminishing
returns, though? Are you really going to take out two 0.010 punchings and
replace them with one 0.020? Honestly, now, how much can those paper fibers
really compress?<br><br>Gotta be some reality
