[pianotech] Re-Attaching Ivory head

[Mike Spalding]

Les,

I would not use the wafers unless I had the keys in the shop.  Surface 
prep, heating, water, not easy to do in the customer's living room.  
I've had the best success with a technique learned here on pianotech 
(Susan?) of applying a thin layer of PVC-E to the keystick, thin layer 
of thin CA to the ivory, and press together.  Bonds quickly, seems to 
endure.
