I've never used anything but the kit bushes Seb. It doesn't stick or have the same viscosity as CA, so I've never experienced a problem using the normal bushes. A quick tidy up of the ends of the barrels would do no harm if the melamine has dribbled a bit between the work piece and the bushes. Just hold it perpendicular to a piece of 400 grit and give it a couple of passes. Usually though, the melamine soaks in to the end grain, and there is no need.
