Joe Garrett shared his "recipe" for soaking the bushings a while back, if you can find it in the archives. He claims it works very well, no splitting. If I remember correctly, it involved pin driving fluid. Isn't that a kind of varnish??? Clark A. Sprague, RPT I used the varnish, oil based and it worked the one time I tried it, soaked them in it, let 'em dry then strung with them. The next time I tried it it didn't, go figure!
