List,

            Part 1

Most of my key rebushing jobs have been on older keys and steam removed
the old bushings easily.

            Tomorrows job will be on a mid 80=92s Young =96Chang and =
I=92m not
sure what type glue was used.

            I searched the archives and read of Wallpaper remover,steam
, or  soaking bushings with an ammonia solution. I read that the
wallpaper remover can inhibit adhesion on rebush.=20

            Any tips appreciated.

            Part 2.=20

            Pvc-E ? For rebush?

            Back to the future with animal hide glue?

 I confess that my glue pot has spider webs in it=20

            I=92ll be dead when these have to be removed again, but =
I=92m
leaning toward hide glue because I care about the next tech. That=92s =
just
the kind of guy I am.=20

            Should I add urea to the mix? The ratio suggested was =BD =
tsp
to 1 tablespoon granules.

           =20

            Joe Garrett, Don=92t get mad, but what=92s the word on =
PVC-E?
Will I be creating a problem for the aforementioned future tech, or can
it be dissolved easily?

            Awaiting advice with appreciation

            P.S. I don=92t look to the archives as often as I should, =
but
that=92s where Newton lives ,still helping us along our way.
