I've never used CA, but you can clamp them together and saw through the =
joint and the saw kerf will add relief space. They gotta stop warping =
sometime.

  Subject: Kimball w/warped keys


  12 year old Kimball console was ok last December but after going =
through humid summer, at least a dozen keys are warped and rubbing each =
other.  I ran into this a number of years ago on another Kimball and =
they replaced the keyboard under warranty.  I was thinking of =
straightening the keys by dampening and heating but they seem a little =
"rubbery" and I don't think they will stay straight.  Has anyone tried =
applying thin CA glue to the keys to stiffen them and make them less =
likely to warp again?

  Thanks,
  Randy Mangus=20
