Key Bushing Glue

[Roger Jolly]

Hi Terry,
           The cold hide glue wick's like heck and robs the cloth of it's
resilience. If the cloth is too stiff it wears faster.   This  has nothing
to do with strength factors, the hot hide glue sets up very quickly, and
before it can soak too far into the felt.
Trust me on this one, hot hide glue is the best method.
