I used it for the first time yesterday to hopefully renew some front rail
bushings.  What I did was soak the felt, then put in the cauls.  However, it
required a drop on the top part of the bushing first. After that soaked in,
more solution could be applied without the initial waiting to soak in. (Sort
of like if you have a high water to alcohol solution to remove bushings -- a
drop will bead up on the bushing until it works its way in.)

Checking last night, all the bushings looked really good.  How long they
will remain thus until the cupping is back is what I'll be interested in
knowing.

If you find out anything from Bob M., do let us know.
