I wasn't foolhardy enough to fill up the mortice with water, but I did use too much and it cracked the key fronts on quite a few keys :-( Ken Jankura rpt Fayetteville PA ----- Original Message ----- From: "Farrell" <mfarrel2@tampabay.rr.com> > Removing key bushings - you need to dab little water on them, right? But maybe they dry out a little too fast. Well, common sense will tell you that if a little water is good, a lot is better! A good solution would be to simply fill that nice little receptacle (key mortise) up to the top with water! That way the key bushings get a real good soaking. Of course, you need to keep adding water to the mortise ........ because it seems to go away ...... somewhere. Let sit overnight. Works great. Bushings fall right out! Anyone ever see a key with a nearly circular cross section? (I have.) :-( > > Can anyone top that? Or do I get the booby prize? > > Terry Farrell
