It comes in a round box about 1-3/4" dia. and is a waxy looking = substance described as a finger moistener. Instructions are to wipe the = tips of thumb and forefinger in it lightly, then rub them together till = dry. Works great! I am sure there must be other similar products = available.

I've put them in the palm of my = hand, and I've laid them on a flat surface. But I still have difficulty = picking up just one punching, unless I wet my finger. And when you're = leveling keys, your fingers have a tendency to get dirty, so that isn't = too sanitary.=20 So, what are some of you doing? Any tricks any one is willing to pass = along to make leveling keys easier and more sanitary.=20 Wim=20 ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
