Hi Mark, You guys are so kind making the suggestions. Yes, I used a popsicle stick and put the glue on the cloth. I've never heard of using a brush for applying glue while rebushing keys--thanks for the tip--I'll be sure never to try it! :-) Really, I'm grateful for Bill Spurlock and his innovations (I have a bunch of his stuff). After several attempts, I just decided that method wasn't for me.
