Hi Roger, I'm a little confused here. Almost everything you've said here is what I've always been told about the lacquer/lacquer thinner mixture. Not keytop/acetone. That's supposed to be one of the advantages of the keytop mixture. You know much quicker what you have in the way of increased hardening. Am I misunderstanding something here?

I just couldn't stay away. :-) Actually though, the real reason is that I think my "emergency" rebuild situation has been solved. I've discovered several very feasible alternatives.
