[pianotech] Applying PVC-E to new plastic keytops

[David Love]

I don't like not clamping either.  Attached is a clamp for just such a
purpose, pretty self explanatory.  The key top goes down, there's a small
gap under the wooden rail that holds the springs to accommodate the front
lip of the keytop, the spring clam applies enough pressure to the bottom of
the key to hold things in place while the glue dries.  You can use it for
sharps as well.

I like simple too, but coming back the next day to find I had 
to do the job over again cured me of not clamping. Since then, 
I've used masking tape to hold the top down and the front tight.
