<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">After the bushings have become
"water-logged", they're ready to use. I<br>
usually put six on a paper towel while I'm rough measuring the
wire.<br>
That's sufficient time for the paper towel to soak up a major amount of
the<br>
excess S.R. Then I drive them into the plate and start stringing. When
two<br>
strings are on, I pull out six more. That's the sequence. BTW, I use<br>
hemostats to get the bushings out of the S.R. Since it has Xzylol in it,
I<br>
don't want to handle them. I pick up the bushings, from the paper
towel<br>
with the Plate Bushing Punch, which is a snug fit. Drive them home with
the<br>
sledge and go for it. There will be a slight amount of S.R. that
"squirts",<br>
so were eye protection! Wipe up with paper towel. The slight amount
of<br>
PinDriving fluid that the bushing has soaked up, will allow the bushing
to<br>
"set up" around the tuning pin and retain a tight fit. Once the
bushings<br>
are in, I do swab the appropriate hole with Pin Driving Fluid, as
well,<br>
that way the pin block has a nice coating in the hole. Got it?<br><br>
