tape on keys

[Dick Beaton]

Les..
I did a set of these a yr or so ago.  the masking tape was old and had eaten
down into the plastic.  I used every solvent I could find...inclluding
laquer thinner.  The type of plastic will determine if you can use that
stuff. in any case I ended up prying the stuff off with a razor blade.  Then
I had to sand down the tops using smaller and smaller grit.  Finally
finished with a buffer.  A lot of work, but a nice new looking set of keys.
