PVC-E glue for bushings, other action felts.

[gordon stelter]

The PVCE that the supply houses sell is very watered
down and runny compared to what I believe is,
chemically, the same stuff, sold at fabric stores as
"Aileen's Tacky Glue " and such. 
     Because of its inherent goopiness, this is my
favorite for all action felts. Everything stays quite
nicely put with the first application, with less
absorption into the fabric.
