This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Thanks Jon. What is "showhite"? In this particular case the ivories = appear to be glued very securely, but for the future.... In a case like this where the only defect is the hairline crack in each = ivory, do you (or anyone) recommend adding a small filet of Acrylikey = along the corner of the forward end of the underside of the keytop and = the top of the keyfront to increase the strength of the keytop overhang = (perhaps the hairline crack had nothing to do with the small unsupported = overhang)?

Thanks.Terry Farrell Make certain the ivory is secure to the key first, wick in thinned hot glue/showhite and clamp if loose. 'V' out the crack and apply AKII. A pointed tool could scrape the = edges but I use a small ball grinder bit in a Dremel Tool. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
