Ah! So you remove wood from the top of the key in order to stick on 
horrible thick shaped acrylic key-tops and make it impossible for 
anyone later to make a proper job of it by recovering the keys 
professionally, if I now understand the drift of the thread.

If you're not set up to recover keys in sheet plastic, then why not 
send them to a firm that specializes in doing the job properly at a 
reasonable price without ruining the keys?
