Keytops (please respond)

Hey Joe,

 

I was told that the reason you don't need to clamp when using PVC-E is that
as it cures it contracts, basically self-clamping.  Subsequently it is great
for keytops and felt.  When I install keytops with PVC-E, I squeeze the key
briefly in a padded vice to ensure that the keytop is on the stick good and
to remove any extra glue. After that you can "Set it and forget it." Works
great!

If you use Contact Cement, it'll come back to bite you in the butt, 10
years, (or less), down the road. Yeah, Yeah, I know. You've been using it
for "nigh on to 40 yars and it ain't gived up yit!" Horse pucky. I've had
several customers tops fail and had to make all kinds of explanations,
apologies, etc.!!!

Don't like being in that situation? Then use PVC-E or the olde method,
(which I won't tell you younguns cuz it's best ya don't know!<G>)

Best Regards,

 

P.S.

Someone said they don't clamp w/PVC-E. How the hell duz ya do that, with any
good bonding????
