It is right out of Bill Spurlock's pamphlet on key bushings. His deluxe =
method includes using the mortise sizing cauls and the pre-application =
of hide glue to the key. I simply brush on a quick coat of hot hide glue =
to the wooden key mortise. It does not seem to affect the benefit of the =
mortise sizing cauls at all - I suppose because it is so little water =
for so short a period of time.

  How do you pre-apply the glue? I missed this step in Spurlock, maybe I =
don't have the advanced certification required to know about the =
"deluxe" method. ;-)

  Seems to me that it would negate the benefit of using the mortise =
sizing cauls.=20

  Hot hide glue, I presume? I like it about the viscosity of olive oil. =
Works for me. I also pre-apply a coat of glue to the wooden key mortise =
(I follow the deluxe Spurlock method).

    Just finished a set of key bushings using hide glue. I found varying =
degrees of density upon use, and  would like to know if anyone could =
best describe the consistency of glue for application. (for example: =
Buttermilk, honey, molasses.)
