Key FrontsWARNING:PYROS DELETE NOW!!!

[Wimblees@AOL.COM]

Now here's a procedure that has to have been thought of during the middle of 
the night when you can't sleep.  Apparently you've used this method, Guy, 
other wise you wouldn't have such details. Just for curiosity sake, how often 
have you done this, successfully?

<< Ron,	
 	Yes, there's a very easy way, but it's one of those that I'm not sure
 is... uh.... sanctioned by any organization. %^)
 
 But...... it REALLY REALLY works, so...
 
 1)	Remove tops first, with whatever method you're used to.
 2) Take key set OUTSIDE, and layout on bench, or whatever, nice flat
 continuos surface.
 3) Use sponge to moisten bare wood of front of keys, sides, tops, and
 bottoms. note: if 	replacing front bushings, do this procedure first.
 4)Layout all 52 moistened keys in a VERY straight line, all sides flush,
 all fronts hanging off     	the edge of the bench at least 1/2".
 5) Fill a plant-mister/cat-training device-type bottle with water, and set
 to medium mist
 6)Set a regular propane torch (cheap/disposable/whatever) to a
 small-to-medium flame, 	and..........
 7)Just *touch* the tip of the flame to the dead-center of the front. Be
 ready to move on quickly.Different fronts react at different rates, but
 you'll detect the appropriate speed ... soon. Use the mister bottle to
 extinguish, when needed, and to keep the little black flying goobers in
 check. Don't breath the stuff, of course, but this procedure is SO QUICK
 that you'll be able to hold your breath for the entire job. Really.
 8) Block sand lightly, after torching, and you're ready. Minutes later.
 
 Positives:
 		Very fast and efficient
 Negatives:
 		Toxic air pollution, and the minor possibility of a little 
scorching on
 the sides, if not pre-moistened or lined-up squarely.
