[CAUT] S&S Key Bushings

[Chris Solliday]

BTW I do use this stuff on action centers in the field and use my heat gun
to assist the process but you can go too far and end up with a click. I have
not produced a click without the attempt to speed things up just letting it
dry naturally. And I'm still gona use the gun sometimes because I think that
sizing is generally less disruptive and more stable than reaming.
