Acrylikey

[Thomas Cole]

A fellow tech hearabouts (name of Fenton Murray) worked with his dentist 
on an ivory repair idea using dental bonding techniques which they 
presented to the local chapter. As you can imagine, the repair was very 
resistant to further chipping and could be colored to match.

Advantages included being able to reconstruct a large area of missing 
keytop by creating a dam to mold the protruding part of the keytop (the 
mold is first formed against an existing unchipped key).
