Sizing of pin bushings

[Kevin E. Ramsey]

    Gee, Roger. Since rubbing alcohol is already thirty percent H2O, and all
the alcohol does is get the water into the bushing and then flash off, I'd a
thunk that rubbing alcohol alone was more than enough. But you want even
MORE water in there? I'd think that after I was done, I'd be getting ready
to re-bush, but you say you've been doing it for years. Hhhhhmm!
Well, I trust you. Maybe I'll try it.
