CA Glue

[gordon stelter]

My 2 cents: Remove grand action and put aluminum foil
on keybed. Safer than newspaper. Put newspaper on top
of the foil. Wear a  gas mask ( carbon filter from
auto paint store--about $20. Also vinyl disposable
gloves (  A buck for 10 at the grocery store ) These
are slower to bond together if you get some on your
fingers, than latex gloves. )
