Richard- You wrote about using CA glue with white spray paint for gluing ivories: > >I've been searching for a way to do this for a long time...

I had some cheap Wal-Mart stuff that was probably $1.50 a can (or less) and I tried that, and have been satisfied with the results. If you have ever tried to deal with ivories that a customer has stuck down (why do they always get them crooked?) with CA glue, you know that they stick like forever. Evidently the paint does not hinder the bond. If I had to unstick one, I would try working the super solvent under, that comes with the starter kit of Dryburgh's CA glue; if that fails try acetone, being of course careful not to get any on the key front.
