pvc-e?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Jim,<BR><BR>I use a glue called Pattex which is made by Henkel
and is based on a exhausted patent of 3M. As far I know itīs not available in
the USA under the brand name Pattex. The advantage of Pattex is that not the
clamping time is important but the pressure. You apply Pattex on the wood and
on the keytop, wait 10 minutes and then you press it with much pressure
together. Usualy I work on one octave because of these 10 minutes waiting time
before going on with the next octave. As far I know thatīs the standard
procedure here in Germany. But I donīt know which material the standard
keytops are made of and if it works on that pcv-e (whatever that might be),
but I think so because Pattex glues nearly everything. <BR><BR>If that sounds
good for you it might be an option to ask Henkel or 3M if that stuff is selled
in the USA under a different brand name.<BR><BR>Gregor<BR><BR><BR><BR>>

pvc-e?<BR>> Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2008 12:50:49 +0000<BR>> <BR>> What's
the minimum clamp time for pcv-e applying plastic keytops?<BR>> <BR>>
The clamping I'm talking about is very light pressure, just enough to conform
the plastic veneer to the wooden surface.<BR>> <BR>> My adhesion tests
showed a rubbed joint to be comparable to a joint clamped overnight, but
that's the case with most glues. Non-clamping assumes perfect mating surfaces
....hard for me to achieve consistently in real life. <BR>> <BR>> And
what exactly is this stuff. PVC-e doesn't even come up on any searches I've
done. Latex? Acrylic? PVA?...naah<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> --<BR>> Jim
