String bearing point lubrication

[Mark Schecter]

Just hold the piece of felt in a pair of tweezers, and pour a few drops 
on from your oiler bottle - you control the amount. You could try 
putting the felt on a wire, but you'll probably have trouble getting it 
to stay on, with all the vibration and catching on strings, bridge pins, 
etc. Try it with tweezers.
