David: The shellac is a sealer of unsealed wood. While one is there, doing what I suggested avoids having to use any type of glue at all to secure the bushings. The bond is very workable and minimal. Good, no? Not all are as lucky as you in having never experienced loose or unsecured cloth.

Why would you glue, shellac or put anything sticky on the guide rail? You’ll curse yourself the next time you have to rebush the rail. I have never glued the felt and have never had a bushing move. Of course this is with the single felt bushings and I use the felt that’s made to fit when you just pull it through the hole. When I encounter those awful double bushed rails, I replace them with new ones and drill for the single felt. But, glue??? It's time to go back to school!
