Re-Gluing Hammer Felt to Core

[Farrell]

Lot's of ways to pet a cat, but this is what I do:

Supplies: Thick CA, accelerator, solvent, paper towels.

Method: pull felt off - spray with accelerator - apply glue to felt - very quickly jam felt back onto core one thumb on rear of core and finger from same hand on strike point pressing the felt into the core - other hand pinches felt tails to core - hold for few seconds until CA cures. 

Then apply solvent to remove fingers from hammer and from each other.   ;-) 

Oh, and no globbing CA down into the action.......

Lots in the archives on this.

  I'm a newbie, so I'll ask:  I explained the method and supplies needed and demonstrated on one felt. What is the procedure and what supplies needed to do this?  Haven't run across it before (yet).  Thanks, 
  Terry.
