If you scrape some grit off your sandpaper onto the fresh glue, it will keep it from sliding as much. Yes, or simply swipe the back side of the key top with the sand paper so the plastice is not so smooth before applying the glue.

A couple of days ago, I asked the question about PVC-E glue and key tops. It has been an impressive response, and very helpful to me. I took the easy road on this set of keys and went with the no-clamping solution. I have a clamp setup with trap springs exactly like David Love describes. I used it with pyralin back in the day. I was attempting to use that clamp system when I originally posted. The key was slip-sliding around on the key top, and I was frustrated! I suspect that the clamping arrangement would have worked fine if I had less squeeze-out and if I'd allowed a bit of "tack time" before clamping. This is my own piano, and I'm happy to experiment. I'm looking forward to the results of Debbie's experimental investigation. -- Duane McGuire 801-830-5858 http://blog.duanemcguire.com ____________________________________________________________ Diet Help Cheap Diet Help Tips.
