I buy mine from either Schaff or Pianotek, whichever I'm ordering from when
I need it and I get the pint size, that's generally good for several sets of
keys. My primary use for it is when I do keytop replacement.
It's also good for glueing felt to wood, leather and cloth to wood and I
think Kawai says it will work on their Styran(man-made) action parts.
 It does tend to thicken if you leave it open too long but you can thin it
with a little water.

Mike
