[CAUT] Key de-bushing question

[Paul T Williams]

Thanks Ron and everyone,

It turned out that I got sidetracked on another project, so here they sit 
this morning with the mortise sizing cauls still in place.  I asume 
they're nice and dry by now ;>)

I should know better than to de-bush in the morning expecting to re-bush 
in the afternoon.  never again.....

Paul

At least overnight, preferably over 24 hours. If the keys 
aren't dry and stable when you bush, they *will* move.

 From a couple off re-re-bushing experiences over the years.
