Contact Cement Life....was PVC-E glue

[Michael Gamble]

Hello List
I find that white contact adhesive is best for both replacing missing 
ivories and for complete replacement of key tops in plastic. It is quick. 
Wait for it to be touch dry then just... stick it on. No warping. No mess. 
No trouble.
Regards
