---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Rubber cement? Horrors, no. Contact cement? You would have to have VERY clean and smooth surfaces, color would be a problem (nothing stands out like a green ivory), and there is no gap-filling capacity. So, no. Not for me. BTW never, never, never, ever use any contact cement --- except water-based -- for plastic keytops. Unless you want to watch them dissolve ... Try the PCV-E. Clamping really isn't the big bugaboo you might think. If you hold it for just a short while, it sets enough that the pieces don't drift.
