PVC-E
& Sharps<BR><BR>Hi All,<BR><BR>I've been researching the =
Archives on
PVC-E glue and<BR>found lots of entries with mostly positive results =
as<BR>an adhesive for keytops (naturals).<BR><BR>Does PVC-E work =
equally as
well on plastic sharps? I<BR>found only one reference in the
archives.<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Dave Davis<BR>Renton,
WA<BR><BR> Was the old "pyralin glue" that =
Schaff or
American used to sell for keytops the same as PVC-E? It worked =
pretty
well, as I remember, but didn't have a long shelf life -- hardened =
into one
rubbery blob. Smelled like Duco Cement. Anyway, it's not =
in the
catalog now, and PVC-E seems to be what they recommend for plastic =
(or
ivory?) keytops.</DIV>
<DIV> And what is "pyralin" anyway -- just a =
type of
plastic? I know from (bad) experience, that when gluing =
keytops with
the wafers and brass plates, then heating them [I was taught to put =
a little
blob of Sterno on the plate, then light it. It burns for a =
minute or
so, then goes out, and the ivory and wafer bonds quite well to the
key], if you accidentally spill Sterno juice on the key =
front or
heat the key front too hot with a heat gun, it will flame up and =
burn faster
than a marshmallow over a campfire! And I'm wondering if =
"pyralin" has anything to do with "pyro" or if heat or fire is used =
in its
manufacture, or what? </DIV>
<DIV> I always thought (old) plastic keytops, and
especially key fronts, were celluloid, and that's why they burn so =
easily,
like old movie film. </DIV>
