-I'm using a half round file to work on the baffle area using a side to side or diagonal stroke. Often I get the scratches. Someone I watched working on a mouthpiece of mine used steel wool 00 with bore oil to smooth things. It doesn't remove those scratches. Any suggestions for that area right behind the tip rail? -- In MouthpieceWork@yahoogroups.com, "Mike Vaccaro" <mike@...> wrote:
