Glue dries hard, and so if it's under a material that is cushioning the
impact of a blow, it defeats that effect.  Glueing only at the ends creates
an "air gap" between the layers which improves cushioning.  The wippen heel
cushion is another such area where an air gap is needed; can you think of
other locations in a vertical or grand action?

No Scott, no one did (unless I missed it).  I haven't started it yet, so
thank you.

Matthew,

Sorry this is a bit late, but I suddenly thought, did anyone mention that
you only glue each end of the skin? The area over the underfelt, where the
jack pushes, should be free from glue.

I realize that PVC-E is self clamping (or so they say) when applying on
keytops.  Will it hold true with a buckskin?  If not, what clamping method
can I use?
