I haven't tried it on keybushings...will give it a try. The only concern with key bushings is whether it soaks too far into the bushing cloth, i.e. squeeks against keypins...it sets up quickly for hammer hanging so it probably isn't a problem in bushing cloth. Did you look at the bushing cloth you pulled out with this in mind?

Hi, Tom,
I ran a test on this for bushings: because I dislike "hide glue", and because the gap-filling ( to accomodate damaged mortises ) and paste-like "no-run" properties attracted me.
After 2 months' dry-time ( should be enough ) the bushings steamed out easily, although they'd been very firmly gripped by this stuff.
( Quite to the contradiction of the "naysayers" on this list: who warned of dire damage to the mortises! )

List,
Thanks for the tip on this glue awhile back. It's nice to work with and I don't have to explain to the kids about the stink of the old horse glue.
