[pianotech] Acrilykey

[Barbara Richmond]

I use some small files, like this:

and razor blades to shape the space to fill. 

You can get additional nail files at a beauty supply store. I also use the four sided file in the picture--I picked it up at the local CVS drug store. It does a great job on the final stages of polishing . 

R emember to keep masking tape around the base of the bottle's cap to keep the liquid from evaporating.

Hi List, 



I just ordered some Acrilykey from Pianoteksupply. Never used the stuff before but, I hear it’s great. I have a piano next month coming up that has “many” chipped key tops. I do not know if they are plastic or ivory so, I have a couple of questions. Maybe these are covered in the directions in the packet? 



1. Must this stuff be used ONLY on ivory? Or can it also be used on plastic. 

2. I read somewhere, where we need to pick up some sort of file that does not come with it. I can’t remember where I read it… What file and where do we get it? 

I figure I might as well join the crowd that does use it and learn how… Any other advice would be appreciated. 



Thanks!
