If the reed gets stuck, check for rough edges either on the reed or the slot

If the slot becomes to narrow it can easily be pushed back with the tip of a 
small screwdriver.

AFAIK there's no point in embossing both sides. Yes, the reed side is where you work on.

<<Whether or not i am correct, how does a person *easily* push back the edges of a reedslot with a screwdriver? This would usually mean getting a screwdriver under the reed, no? That doesn't sound easy at all. What am i missing?<<

Tenhole is not my site, so you'd better ask Tinus. What I use is like Tim described: a shim of 0.05 - simply slide it between the reed and slot to take burrs away.
