Gluing Ivory (was:looking in the archive)

[Jon Page]

I went to an office supply store and they didn't carry liquid white-out.
Only a dispenser of a thin white film. . .progress.
I've heard of some guys spraying the key tops with white enamel
and CA over that.

For chips in keys I now use Richard Wagner's Acrylickey.
