I do have problems with the buttons on tough glues. I am just about to do a set of keys. I'm so glad I opened your post!! I use hot hide because it's so universal throughout the piano and I have devised my recipes and thicknesses to the point it's second nature. It's like any procedure, you have to practice it enough before it becomes efficient and consistant. Keith Roberts </BODY> </HTML>
