[pianotech] Ivory Dust

[pianolady50 at peoplepc.com]

Hmmm,  I have an abundant supply of chipped ivory.  If any of you want to buy dust I'd be happy to create a lot of it! lol  Actually, I'll experiment a bit with a pile I have on hand as a result of making hand-painted ivory jewelry.  Maybe you'll see some pics of success... or failure.

  Last week I bumped into Brad Smith RPT at the local Woodcraft Supply, and as were both purchasing some CA glue, he told me he had been using a mix (slurry?) of medium viscosity CA glue and ivory dust as an alternative to Wagner Acrili-Key. It seems to work for him (I think he grinds up junk chipped ivory keytops rather than depending on sanding dust).
  Perhaps Brad will give us the details of his recipe.

    I sanded a keyboard and have a goodly amount of ivory dust.

    Can it be used as a substitute for titanium oxide in hot glue?

    What are any other uses floating around.
