Contact adhesive
is okay IF it is water based. Don't get any of the other stuff anywhere =
near
your pretty new plastic key tops--it will eat into them and ruin them. =
Personal
experience speaking here. Try PVC-E first. You'll like it and it's safe. =
Some
folks use thick CA on loose ivories and I have done it successfully, =
too. but
there was also the occasion when I drove about 9 miles to a drug store =
for some
nail polish (CA) remover--with a piano key stuck to my thumb. Not a =

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Contact Adhesive - which I use in the =
field for
sticking loose ivories. You know the stuff - comes in a tube, apply to =
both
parts to be stuck, wait till touch-dry (anything from 30secs to 3 mins =
depnding on temp.) carefully (only one chance here) put the two parts =
to be
glued together. No clamps needed. Sticks ivory and plastic to wood. So =
it's
good for complete keyboard recovering.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Copydex - good for felt to wood in =
the field.
This is a white rubber-based adhesive and the small plastic "jar" =
comes with
its own brush attached inside. Whatever you do don't spill this stuff =
on the
Clients' carpets! There <EM>is </EM>a thinner, obtainable from Copydex =
direct.
Copydex is much used in the early keyboard fraternity.</FONT></DIV>
