I usually go about 50/50. Experiment. Each piece of felt will be =
different. As you dilute it, you will notice that the water starts to =
bead up on the felt, and as you add more alcohol, suddenly it will soak =
right in. After the initial soaking, you can just use straight water.

in cerain cases it doesn't penetrate as easy.

      Hi,

      I use the method of pre-soaking the keybushings with wallpaper =
remover and
      hot water and after that I just steam the bushings out with a =
similar hand
      held steam device with a small nozzle. Works verry fast and de =
wood is neat
      and clean for the new felt.

      Hello....I use the same system...but let them penetrate and =
soak,,,,while I do some other job around the shop...an hour later they =
fall out with very little digging....and no damage to mortise......

      Add some alcohol to your solution to break the surface tension of =
the water and it will speed up absorption.=20
