           Not new. I've heard this for years that the felt is pre laquered 
before pressing. To me this makes sense since they're pressing method doesn't 
provide for  much true compression or tension or density.I belive this to be 
by design. Pre - lacquering makes the felt stiffer which helps densify it 
some during pressing. It's forced to stretch and bend a bit more rather than 
just mush into the caul and around tha molding. 
   The problem as I see it is that the method, isn't consistent. I've had 
some sets that needed very little stiffening solution and others...well  Dave 
,you know
