[CAUT] RE : key bushings

[David Ilvedson]

I would think white glue would soak to much into the bushing cloth.   Advantage of hot hide glue is it gels quickly.  I'm also thinking the trim and molding glue from Pianotek would be appropriate if it comes out easily?

Yeah, well - I use white glue. <muffled sounds of horror in the background.> 
And they will come out just fine with a little alcohol soak, even after a 
long time. The layer is thin, after all.

It's MUCH easier to spread white glue on the strip, and it lasts long 
enough for four or five bushings - as much cloth as will lie along the 
length of my thumb while spreading the glue. I use a small screwdriver, 
and keep a puddle of the white glue in a jar lid. Have to add more 
now and then, as it thickens.
