[CAUT] keytops

[Ed Sutton]

PVC-E has many advantages: Easy to apply, just about perfect setting time, non-toxic, kinda sucks the keytop down tight as it sets, reversable with heat, gap-filling, non-toxic, easy clean up, dries transparent, stays flexible, and it's cheap.

  Hi Richard, 

  I've used PVC-E  with good results.  I'm wondering if tightbond trim and moulding glue would be good, but perhaps it's only meant for wood to wood contact. 
  Best,

  What is the current preferred glue for new plastic keytops?  I  
  thought contact cement was the glue of choice, but I've seen some bad  
  key top jobs with the glue letting go.  It looks like the glue was  
  contact cement, but I'm not sure.  One of the supply houses touts PVC-E.
  Any suggestions?
