Steam seems to work best when removing ivory, and dry heat works best for both plastic and celluloid. PVC -E glue is best for gluing on keytops. PVA DOES NOT WORK for keytops (ask me how I know!). I order PVA and PVC-E from Pianotek but Schaff has them as well. Good luck. Tom Tom Seay Piano Tech Office School of Music 232-2072 mailto:t.seay@mail.utexas.edu
