Friends, Quite a few responses refer to key leads, when the original post talks about "wooden blisters." So maybe I can learn something here I didn't know. Are key leads ever put in the keys where they are not immediately visible from the sides? Maybe inserted from the bottom or something? I'm a little confused about how a question regarding wooden blisters turned into a discussion of key leads.
