 David:

The shellac is a sealer of unsealed wood. While one is there, doing what I suggested avoids having to use any type of glue at all to secure the bushings.  The bond is very workable and minimal. Good, no? Not all are as lucky as you in having never experienced loose or unsecured cloth.

This comes up from time to
time.  Why would you glue, shellac or put anything sticky on the guide
rail?  You’ll curse yourself the next time you have to rebush the
rail.  I have never glued the felt and have never had a bushing
move.  Of course this is with the single felt bushings and I use the felt
that’s made to fit when you just pull it through the hole.  When I
encounter those awful double bushed rails, I replace them with new ones and
drill for the single felt.



 



But, glue???
