peroxide

[Lance Lafargue]

James,
I sand with 600 grit to open the pores and get rid of the slick surface of
oil, etc.  I'll repost my earlier message below.

I bought 50% at chemical supply and dilute it to 10%. The article I read
suggested that.  A drop will turn your skin white white white and burn.  I
mist 10% lightly on the keys (cheese cloth is spread over them to hold the
moisture longer) and keep under UV light.  Have a set going now.  BRIGHT as
you like.  Go easy to preserve the glue joints and save work later.
