fingernail polish

[Brian Trout]

Hi Clyde,

You've already gotten some fine suggestions.  A thought that came to mind...
Does the fingernail polish bond very tightly to the keytops?  If it doesn't
'melt in' too badly, I wondered if a sharp new razor blade would peel that
stuff right off the top without much damage?  I don't know, I haven't tried
it.

Good luck,
