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.

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. This not only get the felts off easier, but it takes some of 
dirt off the heads. 

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.
