Thanks Ron and everyone, It turned out that I got sidetracked on another project, so here they sit this morning with the mortise sizing cauls still in place. I asume they're nice and dry by now ;>) I should know better than to de-bush in the morning expecting to re-bush in the afternoon. never again.....

At least overnight, preferably over 24 hours. If the keys aren't dry and stable when you bush, they *will* move. From a couple off re-re-bushing experiences over the years.
