believe Joe mean the hot glue used for ivories (and for hammer =

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks Jon. What is "showhite"? In =

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In a case like this where the only =
defect is the

a small
filet of Acrylikey along the corner of the forward end of the =
underside
of the keytop and the top of the keyfront to increase the strength of =
the
keytop overhang (perhaps the hairline crack had nothing to do with the =
small
