Somebody must have really smeared the stuff in there. It's the big globs of 
white glue which are hard to remove. I put an even but thin ribbon on the 
bushing itself, and then use Bill Spurlock's cauls. By the time the wood 
absorbs some and the bushing absorbs some, there shouldn't be any left to 
squeeze out and make a mess. Actually, I found that the time I tried the 
hot hide glue it wicked into the cloth worse than the Elmer's. No doubt the 
hot hide glue  was the wrong consistency and I probably used too much.
