I'm glad I stirred the pot just a little because I forgot about that extra mysterious felt washer that was left over from the kit build. For the heck of it, I installed the second washer and YES! The damping is much smoother now. So, free spinners might prefer one felt washer, but dampers might want to try the second washer if they're not happy with the "drag" results with one washer.
