To remove front and balance rail bushings I use an iron and cloth and steam them out. This morning I started doing this on a front set, which I had replaced several years ago, but I noticed that they weren't all that worn out. So instead of removing the felt, I glue sized them with the final cauls. Have any of you done this? Results? Are there reasons I shouldn't do this? Certainly saved a lot of time, not to mention bushing cloth Wim Willem Blees, RPT Piano Tuner/Technician School of Music University of Alabama Tuscaloosa, AL USA
