iron set on the wool setting. I feel that it makes the bushing cloth a little 
more dense and uniform and prevents the glue from soaking in as much."

Ryan,

Thanks!  What a HOT (pun intended) idea!  yet another time saver.  Tell me, 
though, why do we NOT want the glue to soak in?  Or will it adhere just as 
well to ironed bushing cloth?

Also, do you iron both sides, then?

Thanks,
