Have you tried it that way? =20 Alan R.

I just thought - sizing the felt bushing is as important as gluing it in place - seems to me overnight, or at least several hours, is going to be mandatory for a good lasting fit. But perhaps others have more = experience with this. =20 Terry Farrell You are correct - their felt products are not on the web site. I simply called them. You can order as many or as few as you wish. Only one size. = If I recall correctly, they are $2 per strip (but I could be WAY off with that). =20 I honestly don't know how to rush drying the bushings. I've always just = done it in my shop and had the luxury of time. I'd be tempted to experiment = with other glues like Titebond in the shop first to make sure it didn't go = too far into the felt (maybe use sparingly and let air dry until tacky???). =20 Have you used the Renner bushing felt before? Be sure to use their = training tool (to get the felt to go through the flange easy. I pull my felt = through the flange, one cut, thread a bunch of flanges on a long center pin wire = (or individual wires), and then apply a 50/50 mix of water/alcohol and let = dry overnight. Works great. Depending on how much friction you are after controls what size wire you use to for sizing.=20 =20 Terry Farrell I had checked out their website but if they post any prices or even list their felt products on there, they sure have them hidden. I emailed = them. Do you have to call them to order, THEN find out the cost? If so, that = would be very Steinway of them. =20 I guess for field repairs, one could dab on a little Titebond. =20 Alan R. Barnard Salem, MO -- No virus found in this incoming message.
