how about? for damper felts

Yes, good point John - I use one of those.

  Use a rheostat to lower the operating temperature of the soldering iron.
  An inexpensive one can be fabricated, using a light dimmer switch, since the wattage is low.
  Use trial and error to find the spot, and mark it.
  The same system, can be made to lower the temperature of the iron, if used with the hammer smoothing head.

    oh yes, Terry, I've heard people mention this felt wedge technique: so, should I presume that you have 88 little wedges for all the keys? This technique sounds like it might be even more focused than just soaking the bushings. I like the brass caul/soldering iron idea - I'll have to make a tip like that for my soldering  iron. Sounds like the cat's meow...
