hot hide glue wash

[David M. Porritt]

Jim:

In a couple of years you'll love that you used PVC-E.  That's all I use any more.  I removed the PVC-E glued bushings yesterday, and put on new ones today.  (I always let the keys dry overnight after removing bushings.)  They will come off much better than with hide glue.
