<div>Helpful hints from Heloise??? or what ever her name is. Sounds like the blush when you get drop of rubbing alcohol on the coffee table or you set the warm cup on it and left a mark. I've seen a knowledgable house wife make those disappear in seconds. Don't ask me how it's done. Home economics is not my best subject. </div> <div> </div> <div>Keith Roberts<br><br></div> <div class="gmail_quote">On Dec 13, 2007 6:53 AM, Fred Sturm <<a href="mailto:fssturm@unm.edu">fssturm@unm.edu</a>> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">       Yesterday I had an unfortunate experience cleaning keytops. Yamaha<br>C-2 about 20 years old. The sharps (wooden) had a good bit of buildup <br>of the gray goo, so I was fairly liberal with the Cory KeyBrite. Got<br>done, looked back to admire my work, and found it had raised a very<br>thin clear finish on the sharps - blistered so as to look somewhat<br>white. <br>       Has anyone been down this road and found a good fix? I'm thinking I<br>have to remove this light, glossy, clear finish, and don't want to<br>disturb what's underneath. I'm assuming that this is probably not real <br>ebony, and that even if it is, it has a black spray coating of some<br>sort. I thought of just buffing with 0000 wool, and emulated that with<br>a square of ScotchBrite I had handy. Doesn't seem like a good way to <br>go. So I am thinking I'll either experiment with solvents (possibly<br>spray a solvent in hopes of re-amalgamating - foolish hope) or sand<br>carefully. But perhaps someone has come up with a better plan.<br>Regards, <br><font color="#888888">Fred Sturm<br>University of New Mexico<br><a href="mailto:fssturm@unm.edu">fssturm@unm.edu</a><br><br><br><br></font></blockquote></div><br>
