I don't know anything about Schaff's bushing cloth and cutting cloth, =
etc. I have been using Renner pre-cut & pre-glued bushing cloth strips =
and using their flange bushing cloth sizing tool:  =
http://markotech.com/ECscripts/ECware.exe/dcp?id=3D002&sku=3D1855&type=3D=
A1QN11&lc=3DEN  These materials and tools have made rebushing flanges =
painless and perfect everytime for me. Renner's long (about two feet) =
center pins are very handy also when doing a bunch of flanges. Joel =
Rappaport (I think it was him - the guy that does Tanglewood) did a =
class at a convention a few years back on this method.
