hairspray hammer hardner question

[KeyKat88 at aol.com]

GHreetings Rodger,
                           
                        What do you mean by pre-filed? Is that filed before I 
needled them? If so,  Yes, I have filed the grooves out of the hammers, but I 
hear the hammers' tone get more sublte when I file them, not brighter. Is 
this just a matter of syntax/word preference or is there a particular methiod of 
filing that will make the hammers brighter? Afterall I AM a rookie.

Thanks again,
Juli Gottshall

Hi Julie,
                 The sand paper is only used if you apply too much spray.  
The nice thing about this method , is that there is a small amount of material 
and will not soak into the hammer very far.  It's dry in a few minutes.
Use a very light grade of sand paper about 400 grit, if needed.
I am assuming the hammers have been pre filed to obtain some extra brightness.

Regards Roger

Greetings Rodger,
 
             If I use the hairspray, do I use light sandpaper, BEFORE or 
AFTER spraying?
Also doesnt sanding the hammer make it softer?
 
Thanks in advance,

Hi Julia,

                A nice simple solution.  Mask off the surrounding hammers,  
Spay the crown with a light coat of hair spray, should bring back the sparkle.  
Easy to reverse, by lightly sanding, very controlled.
