key bushings

[DGPEAKE@AOL.COM]

I like to mix 1 part wallpaper remover to 5 parts H20, then apply to the key 
bushings.  Go through the process at least twice. Wait for 1/2 hour to one 
hour, then using tweezers, see of they will lift out. If it does not remove 
the bushings, then steam them out. This will also help pre-treat the bushings 
and less chance of steaming off the key buttons as well.

<< List,
     I've read two posts of late about steaming out old bushings. I
 wonder if any of you have ever tried using wallpaper paste remover? I
 use a mixture of this applied with a dropper directly onto the bushings.
 I will sometimes apply to the set a second time just to insure
 penetration. Usually if the glue was hide glue they either remove very
 easily with a wet cloth ironed over the bushings or sometimes (often)
 they just fall out even before the application of steam. Does anyone
 else use this method or have this kind of experience?
