Whomever puts new key bushings in 50 years from now will cuss you. Or at least I would if it were me. Yes Titebond softens with water, but it simply does not come off nice and clean like hot hide glue. Why not just use hot hide? As the Titebond takes longer to dry, you might get too much glue penetration into the felt. I hate white glue on bushings....
