Hi Alan,

Do search the archives--there is a wealth of information there. In brief,
CA glue is available in large quantity from most hobby shops. To "fix" an
unglued ivory put a thin coat of white glue on the wooden part and a drop
of CA on the ivory (dry fit first). Then mate the parts and listen for the
sizzle. The white glue acts like a kicker for the CA (ca cures with
moisture). The CA holds the keytop until the white glue dries hard.
