A client has this Yam U1 which suffered a broken key-top. The broken =
part
successfully glued in place but the whole area needs repolishing.The =
surface
is lightly scratched - enough to visibly and tactilely make one =
aware that
all is not what it ought to be. Any ideas on this? Dremel buffing =
mop? Any
special gunge required? </FONT></DIV>
