I was googling to see if anybody else had run into the problem of the G string on TI flats sounding dead. Somehow this thread came up

sorry, a bit late to the party, but wanted to share my experience. I've used vaseline to deaden d'addario chrome flats. They come out of the package super zingy which is not my cup of tea. I basically smudged a bit of vaseline into a paper towel, ran it across the length of each string, and then cleaned it off with a fresh paper towel. They sounded quite nice after that, almost 'woody'. And, yes, as has been mentioned above, it was nice and smooth on the fingers, at least for a while.
