You are right about the viscosity. Experiment a little more. I like
the<br>
brass cauls from Pianotek. They can be heated after installation to size
and<br>
iron the felt as well as set the hide glue to a uniform
"backing" the is<br>
stiffer than white glue.</font></blockquote><br>
I rest the brass cauls on the edge of the glue pot so they are heated
when installed.<br>
<br>
I also use a clamping devise on the front rail to press the cauls to
obtain a better<br>
definition to the bushing corner and mortise fit. Jpg's available.<br>
