papering keyslips

I just stumbled onto a fix for keyslips that bind on the keys, causing 
"sticking keys".  I've seen many different ways of trying to solve this, 
from cardstock at the cheekblocks, to screws in the action frame to shims 
for the little dowels in the keyslip itself.

This may be an old remedy, but I haven't seen it before.  I took some of my 
travelling paper, (I've got a little container, precut) and licked and 
sticked (stay away, grammar police) it to the bottom edge of the keyslip, 
closest to the keyboard.  When tightened down, this tilts it away from the 
keys.  Very easy, adjustable, and reversable.
