You can but for a couple of bushings I would just use Titebond trim glue or something similar and get it done quickly in the customer's home without having to heat up a pot of glue. Cold hide glue takes to long to dry. I don't think whoever does the bushing job on the next go around will come looking for you for having used other than hide glue on a couple of bushings. I wouldn't take it home, it's a waste of time. What would you do then, charge for an hour round trip for a job that can be done on the spot in five minutes? Or not charge for the round trip and eat the time yourself? It's a lose-lose. Just do it there.

Using hot hide glue and Spurlock cauls, can I replace them in the customer's home, and then proceed with tuning? Or should I take the keys home with me to do overnight?
