PVC-E?

[A440A@aol.com]

GREETINGS;
   I  was given a piano last month,  a 1926 Jesse French, in a custom case.
 When I looked at it, I was told the piano had not been touched in 30 years.
 What I saw was perfect ivories.   As soon as I touched the keys,  the heads
scattered like dried leaves!  The entire keyboard had loosened, but since no
one touched it,  the tops were all laying there ,perfectly in place, but
completely free.  It was bizarre.

     I have been regluing them with PVC-E.  It seems to work well,  as the
underside of the ivory was clean, and the whiting on the keys was untouched.


     What I would like to ask of those that have been using this stuff for a
while,
How do you undo it?  Heat?  Moisture?  how sensitive is it?

     Yea, yea,...... I might have found one crooked after the clamp came off,
 and just supposing I did,  what would be the easy way to loosen this stuff,
 if you really wanted to take no chances on ruining one of set?  ?  (:)}}}}}}
