David Ilvedson asked: "I'm going to try PVC-E glue for the next keytop =
job.   Questions:   I have a new jar, thick as warm honey...jar says =
don't thin more than 5% so it must be close to the right consistency?   =
How is it applied?   Roller?  Brush?  Finger?   Both key and keytop?   =
Let them dry before joining?   Do I have much wiggle room for moving =
slightly?   I understand I don't need to clamp...?   Let dry 24 hours =
before trimming?

Thanks in advance

David,
I've been using it for a while. I first tried applying with an "acid =
brush". Too messy. I thin by about 10% and put it in an Elmers Glue =
bottle, (w/spoon and small funnel). I run a line down the key stick and =
then smear it around with my finger. For me, this works much better.=20
As I have an Oslund Key clamp, I've been clamping. The clamp holds 6 =
keys. So, by the time the 6th one is placed in the clamp, it's time to =
clean the glue squeeze off of #1. This needs to be done, as the darn =
stuff really gums up my Trimmer! By the time I've cleaned all of the =
keys, in the clamp(s), it's time to take #1 out and start on a new key. =
It's definately slower than Contact Cement, but I'm hoping it won't have =
the "failure" rate of contact. I like to let the keys set overnight, =
before trimming, etc.
I hope that helps.
Regards,=20
