Rim protection when removing plate

Hi Warren,
I have used strips of vinyl flooring. The ends are cheap, possibly even free.
I suppose carpet ends would have a greater absorbency for shock.

  Thanks Joe,
  But I have the cauls ordered from Spurlock.  I didn't know they had that size.  I vaguely remember seeing that rig once or twice before.  The main problem  is I hadn't done any rebuilding during the 15 years since I brought my partner into the business and the 4 years since I retired.  So it is just about like starting over. 

  I have a question. How do you protect the inside of the rim while you are cycling the plate in and out. I have some ideas but would like to know what the consensus is on it.
  Thanks,
  Warren

    Warren asked: "I have a set to rebush with these non-standard narrow mortises.  Does anyone know where I can send them to be redone or get the cauls to do them myself?  The keys are too narrow, I think, to accommodate a standard key button.
    Thanks,"
    Warren,
    You can make your own cauls OR you can send them to me and I'll do them. (Hot hide glue & high density felt). Your cost will be: Shipping/handling + $110.00 Labor + Materials. If you are PTG Member you will be afforded a 10% discount on labor & materials.
