<DIV><FONT size=2>Stop by Bernie's Lapidary on North Broadway, =
Rochester, and
tell him you need a buffing wheel and some compound for polishing
plastic. Get a mandril from him so you can chuck the wheel in a =
drill or
your drill press. You don't need a lot of speed. The =
compound does
the cutting and polishing. Load the wheel with the compound and =
gently
apply it to the keytop. Make sure the keytop is clamped to
something. Check your progress in 5 or 6 seconds and repeat as
required. The buffing residue can be removed with a SOFT =
cloth and
soapy water (spit will work too). Any trouble, call =
me.</FONT></DIV>
