Greetings all, Please let me reiterate Laura's warning. I have seen these keys do exactly the same thing. If I remember correctly, I either read in the Journal or heard in a PTG seminar, someone stated that not only were these cellulose but TriNitrocellulose Toluene (notice the capitalized letters TNT.) This stuff is highly flammable and dangerous to work with so take appropriate precautions. I certainly don't mean to sound like an alarmist but exposure to the chemicals that we use in our profession can be much more toxic than we often realize. If this sounds extreme just catch one of Del Fandrich's classes on glues and adhesives. Happy key recovering, Allan Gilreath Gilreath Piano & Organ Co. Berry College Gilreath@aol.com
