how about? for damper felts

Allen,
  It works well using the same size pins.  It doesn't eliminate the need of easing, but you are much closer to where you want to be.

I've never had problems with steam on keys, either.

Does anyone ever size the balance holes by inserting key pins in them 
right after they're steamed (and leaving until dry)? Similar to 
Spurlock's sizing cauls for the mortise, in other words. I've always 
meant to try that...but perhaps something a thousandth or two bigger 
than the pins in the piano might be necessary? Anyone have experience 
with this? Seems like it might prevent much of the need for easing, 
if it were done right.

This may have been discussed on the list before, but if so I missed it.

Sincerely,

Allen Wright
