This works, sort of, using white glue as well.

However, I just don't see the change in mass being the cause of the 
improvement.
I think that the glue, being slightly flexible, muffles the string, just 
like a
fold of felt would, however not quite as much. It's not exactly what I would
call a fix, but it does help you get down the road in a pinch.

Just MHO.
