[CAUT] S&S Key Bushings

[Rick Florence]

This was one of the experiments I did.  Tight bushings were successfully
resized.  That was only 10 days ago however, still waiting the long-term
results.  I have not tried less than overnight yet.  I have wondered if
using heated cauls would speed up the process.

The S&S I was working on had bushings which were too tight
and using a key bushing iron softened the glue more than it
sized the opening.

Would the VSP properly size the gap in this case
with the use of cauls?   The only problem with this
is that sometimes waiting overnight with the cauls
in place is not an option.
