Dear List:
What is the consensus on re-bushing Steinway two layer guide rail bushings?  Could one thick cloth be used?  Are two layers really better in some way than one?  If so, why does only S&S do this?  Glue / no glue?  (Or shellac the rails and size the bushings with water/alcohol as I have read here before?)

A colleague has these bushings to do, he says the holes are 3/16" or about 4.8 mm.  With damper wires in the range of 1.8 mm, is there even room for 2 layers?
Thanks for any enlightenment.... or simply light you can shed o this.
