It took exactly 11 minutes from the time I started putting on paste remover to having all the bushings off.  I've taken 3 times that long with hide glue.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>dave *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 6/22/2003 at 12:00 AM Tom Driscoll wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid"> <DIV class=Section1> List,             Part 1 Most of my key rebushing jobs have been on older keys and steam removed the old bushings easily.             Tomorrows job will be on a mid 80’s Young –Chang and I’m not sure what type glue was used.             I searched the archives and read of Wallpaper remover,steam , or  soaking bushings with an ammonia solution. I read that the wallpaper remover can inhibit adhesion on rebush.             Any tips appreciated.             Part 2.             Pvc-E ? For rebush?             Back to the future with animal hide glue?  I confess that my glue pot has spider webs in it             I’ll be dead when these have to be removed again, but I’m leaning toward hide glue because I care about the next tech. That’s just the kind of guy I am.             Should I add urea to the mix? The ratio suggested was ½ tsp to 1 tablespoon granules.                         Joe Garrett, Don’t get mad, but what’s the word on PVC-E? Will I be creating a problem for the aforementioned future tech, or can it be dissolved easily?             Awaiting advice with appreciation             Tom Driscoll                         P.S. I don’t look to the archives as often as I should, but that’s where Newton lives ,still helping us along our way.                         </DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>**************** END MESSAGE FROM Tom Driscoll ********************* </BODY></HTML> <PRE> _____________________________ David M.
