I use the self stick for pianos that belong to customers. The advantage of using the self stick thingees is that they can be removed, without damaging the finsh, if the customer complains about them. For my own spec pianos I will drill for and install rubber buttons...NOT rubber headed nails. If you try to install a rubber headed nail without predrilling through the polyester you will crack the polyester when you try to drive the nail in................ Jim Bryant (FL)
