Hello all!

I was pleasantly surprised today too see that the ivory keytops I had
removed 2 days ago with a wet cloth and a hot steam iron has un-curled!!!
I did place it the day before yesterday all on a flat surface, right after
removing, covered with sheets of paper and heavy books on top.
But even a piece which was left free did un-curl. So it's not as bad as it
looks immediately after removing them with heat and steam.
Anyway, placing them under a weight seems to be a good thing.
