don't use it. it's a pain to put on, and if you don;t do it right, it will cause reeds to stick. And you can't take it off easily, and the comb will be all sticky. It doesn't even really work well. Your best bet is to sand the comb and back of the draw reedplate as flat as possible. If you are using plastic combs, you can't really sand them (some you can, but not the special 20 kind where the reedplate is recessed), but they should be pretty flat. Micropore is not a real solution.... Absolutely EVEN torque (and pretty light torque) on the reedplate screws, coupled with as-flat-as-possible reedplates and combs is really the only way to ensure air doesn't leak at this juncture. Then you've got to make sure air isn't leaking around the reeds in the reedslots, so you have to emboss those a bit too. IMO, this is the only sure-fired way to make an airtight harp.
