For hammer flange travelling I use fine sand paper which was cut into
thin strips with a paper cutter. (watch your fingers ! ) This way I can
maintain
some kind of traction on the flange, at least I think I can, that's all that
matters.

For wippen flanges I used to use single space typewriter correction tape.
(remember those)  Since that item is not stocked at the office supply store
I have resorted to cutting mailing labels into the thin strips as to someone's
suggestion on the list a few years back.

You gotta love this list,
