I service on old upright piano for which a previous technician installed =

Dryburgh superglue, but they began coming off again, so I switched to=20
Weldwood contact cement, and that nearly always does okay for me, but=20
not on this piano.  This has been a chronic problem for years.

Do you have a never-fail suggestion for some other glue? "

Clyde,
This is precisely why I quit putting keytops on with contact cement! The =
darned stuff breaks down after a while and it will not be "rejuvenated"! =
I use PVC-E and find it is satisfactory, although it takes longer to set =
up and, IMO, needs to be clamped. PVC-E will adhere to that olde =
contact.
