Tom, It was I who put in a TT&T on the Garrett Wade clamps. They work great. But I just tried to get some more and they have discontinuing them. Instead, I have found the Bessey clamps in Amazon that work the same. I have ordered four. See attachments for the Bessey and the Garrett Wade versions. I use WeldBond glue to glue hammers when there are just a few. Wim is right, it can continue but not always. Maybe I got lucky. The Weldbond glue is quite thick PVA glue and does not soak in so fast. Another similar adhesive that should be just as good is Titebond molding glue that is just as thick. I usually leave them glued for several hours. Gel super glue might not soak in as much. With either or all three, it would probably help to prime the felt with a thin coat and let it dry and then glue and clamp. The less glue that gets into the felt the better as it brightens the hammer. They can be voiced back down though.
