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.
