<div> <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Thanks for this test and for sharing the results. I've just used VS Profelt for the first time and have found it very useful. No need to be concerned about this one allegedly negative aspect.<br>

Subject: VS profelt and glue adhesion, follow-up<br>

<div id="AOLMsgPart_1_f2b0714f-1bb8-47e3-b767-c5ac121fc4a4" style="margin: 0px; font-family: Tahoma,Verdana,Arial,Sans-Serif; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
<pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><tt>Following up on a thread that was "key bushing miracle stuff".<br>
<br>
It was suggested that VS Profelt would negatively effect subsequent glue <br>
adhesion.<br>
<br>
I like the stuff, so I decided to do a test.<br>
<br>
I just finished making a new set of custom buttons. So I milled a couple of <br>
extra mortises, painted VS-Profelt directly into the mortise and the felt <br>
shoulder contact areas, saturated the wood with the stuff. 24 hrs later glued <br>
in some felt as usual (hot hide) with extra felt sticking out of the mortise so <br>
I could get a handle to pull on, set the caul and waited overnight.<br>
<br>
Tested the glue joint by trying to pull the felt out of the mortise. Viola! The <br>
<br>
glue joint held beautifully, and was stronger than the cloth itself. picture <br>
attached.<br>
