Considering how small the bushings are, it doesn't take much to soak them. I haven't had problems with the stuff dripping onto other parts. Two suggestions: 1. Remove the action stack from the keyboard and put it on the bench. 2. Do a few practice applications with the part removed from the stack -- so you can see how much pressure is required to get the liquid out the end of the needle. Once you're confident of this, you can proceed with lubing without removing every flange from the rails. Proceed cautiously, all the same. Good Luck! Ron Torrella Check out The Piano Page at: Asst.
