Anyone ever try this with ivory? >I also use the 3M spray glues. I use both the #77 and the high >strength #90. I found out that the #90 will etch the keytop if >it gets on it so I use the #77 for spraying the bottom of the >keytop and the #90 for the key. I use an old box into which the >overspray goes for the keys and I line up two octaves of keytops >B to C on the bench w/paper and spray them all at once. If >after spraying I immediately move the keytops to a clean piece >of paper they won't stick to whats under them when I install to >keys.
