Baldwin key bushing removal

[Meyer Carl]

I use a Popsicle stick cut to the correct width.  Dip it about an eighth
inch or a little more deep and blot on a surface to get rid of the runoff,
then apply with a right and left motion in the mortise.  I do them one at a
time using the bushmaster.  If I had brass cauls then maybe I'd do several
at a time.
Heating them sounds like a good idea.  I'm still using the plastic.  Boring
work!!!!
