I am having some difficulties removing old damper felts. I soaked them with wall paper remover (diluted 1 part wp remover and 1 part water), repeat and waited for 30 minutes. Usually the felts will easily slide off without leaving any residue.
This particular set of felts won't come off, even after having them soaked a few times.
I took out the old iron, put a damp cloth over the felts and heated it for approx 30 seconds. The felts came off a little better but leaving a very tacky residue.
Any ideas what kind of glue was used to attach the felts (it's a 25 yr old piano that was exposed to high humidity for an extended period of time and the damper felts are simply desintigrating)? Is it pre-glued damper felt?
More importantly, any suggestions as how to remove the felts without leaving any residue?
Thank you,
Peter
