[CAUT] CX-21 hardwood keybuttons

Alan:

No experience at all!  I normally use some wallpaper paste removed
without heat and I don't think that would hurt the hardwood buttons.
Try one and see what happens.

Subject: [CAUT] CX-21 hardwood keybuttons

Hi Folks,

This marks the first time for me to rebush a set of keys with hardwood
keybuttons. Normally I steam out bushings with a wet cloth and an iron.
I'm
worried about doing that with these buttons. Visions of pulpy globs on
top
of the keys that once were buttons and installing a set new buttons and
keypins. Anyone have any experience with these? Advice?

Alan
