I was entertaining the idea of squirting some silicone caulk into the spring gap in order to offer some damping and get the chatter down.

Al, I don't think the spring tool holder is right for a shaper. On a lathe with a workpiece turning in a circular motion and the tool at or slightly below the center line the tool would move AWAY from the workpiece. on a shaper the linear motion woud cause the tool to dig into the workpiece.
