Hi Jon,
       Had a situation in a customers home with two ivories off, the wood
was showing clean, As the customer was out of town I gave her two choices,
reglue with CA glue and have two keys stand out. Or take the keys back to
the shop, fix and mail back.  She suggested using typist 'white out'
Suprise it worked fine.
  Out of the mouth's of babes and suckling's.
