List, I am doing key rebushing on a 1993 Baldwin 243. The original glue is some gummy white stuff which does not come off very easily using water and wallpaper remover or a water/alcohol mixture. I can remove the old bushings OK after soaking them several times, but the mortise is all gummy. What kind of glue is this, is there an easy way to remove it, and should I glue the new bushings with the same glue used originally instead of hide glue since there is the gummy stuff left behind? Thanks much. John Formsma Blue Mountain, MS P.S. I tried looking in the archives, but no luck on "Baldwin bushings."
