warped keys

Yesterday, after driving more than 40 minutes, I came to this Heintzman that
had major arthritis to about 10 or 12 of it's keys. Now this was major
warping. I thought of leaving, but then I thought about the experience I
would gain by doing this on the spot. Unfortunately, I had forgotten my CA
kicker in the shop. So, thanks to Suzan's white glue + CA, I was able to
repair, or at least minimize the warping.

Here is my question : Is it better to make a kerf and glue in veneer, or
make the kerf and just glue the key back together. As I had time on my
hands, I just couldn't make up my mind between the two. Any clues welcome.
