I pre-soak, sometimes twice, take out what will come out, and if they are really stubborn THEN I reach for a damp cloth and an iron to steam them out. I don't like cooking wood unless I have to. If there are pulley keys, I'll steam, knowing that it'll shrink the oversized holes - but if the balance rail holes are snug, I'll try to avoid steaming, so I don't have to resize them all later.

What I want to know is will Barbara set up will work on upright flat dampers. They must cut those out of one block all glued together to use that tough of a glue job.
