Wagner acrylic?

[Richard Wagner]

To the list:

Hi folks!

I've replied to this post personally, and in more depth, but I just thought I'd
quickly answer some of her questions for the group in case any one else is
interested.

"AcryliKey" does a fairly good job of repairing (most) plastic key
materials, but was designed for, and looks much more like ivory, than it
does plastic.

The repair procedure involves a.) matching the color of the keytop with
(included) pigments, then b.) mixing together two Acrylic components to form
a thin paste which is applied to the broken key.

When the mixture has set up, usually in about 20 minutes, it is sanded and
buffed to a smooth, high gloss finish.

Its main use is for repairing chipped piano ivory but people keep finding
other uses for it as well... maybe even accordian keys.

I'd be glad to answer any other questions...       I have one myself though...

I've only been on the list for about a month now, so I may have missed it
the first time around, but I can't understand why this post showed up only
today 11/12/96 but was dated 9/27/96?  Is this a repost?  Or perhaps I am
journeying through "the land of both shadow and substance" into The Twilight
Zone?

Thanks,

         Richard Wagner RPT
