I have a Baldwin Grand from the the 1920's in the shop for a rebuild. Does anyone know what kind of glue was used for such things as the back rail felt, dampers, and other felt to wood applications? Hot hide glue? Also, what's the best method for removing the old felt and glue residue. The last time I did this with razor blades and sandpaper it took forever. 
 
Thanks
