[CAUT] RE : key bushings

[David Skolnik]

With regard to glue on the cloth, I think that if the cloth is dense 
enough (good quality) and you use urea in the glue to slow the 
drying, thus allowing for a thicker working consistency, it seems to 
work.  I usually brush on enough for maybe 3 mortises at a time.
