With each key in a vice try a sharp chisel or knife, depending on thickness
of plastic keytop you are taking off, once all removed sand entire set of
keys to ensure all flat,even and clean

> Also, what is the best glue?  PVCA?  Where do I get your suggested glue? 

With a new set of plastic keytops I have good results with bostik contact
adhesive. Though I get the impression all Americans are super glue happy


> P.S.  How do I get to the search engine for the archives?  I got lost.
