<DIV align=left>Alan's right. It's really easy to=
use. I've spread it on with another keytop, or a=
finger. I've thinned it slighty--with titanium dioxide as=
a whitener when using it with ivories. Not an issue=
with any plastic tops I've used. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Even if there's some slop, it's easy enough to roll off the=
rubber residue. But keep a damp rag, and a clean dry rag=
handy.</DIV>

<DIV>Great stuff. </DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px;=
BORDER-LEFT: blue 2px solid"><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR:=
transparent" face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Q: I have a new=
jar, thick as warm honey...jar says don't thin more than=
5%<BR>so it must be close to the right consistency?<BR><BR>A:=
Don't thin it, not at all.<BR><BR>Q: How is it=
applied? Roller? Brush? =
Finger?<BR><BR>A: I've tried a lot of ways. What I have settled=
on is putting the glue in a<BR>hypo-oiler (fairly large needle),=
running a continuous bead of glue in the<BR>center line of the=
key from the front to the where the keytop will end, a<BR>little=
extra on the "head" and some on the front. Keep a clean rag or=
paper<BR>towels handy, use your finger to spread the glue, very=
thin at the edges (if<BR>globby at the edge, run the rag along=
to remove some). Then press the top<BR>into position and hold=
for about 10 to 15 seconds. If any glue oozes from<BR>the edge=
or gets on the keytop, wipe it off while it's fresh. It will=
come<BR>off later but only with a mixture of water and elbow=
grease--easier to get<BR>it now.<BR><BR>Q: Both key and=
keytop? A: No.<BR><BR>Q: Let them dry before=
joining? A: No. In fact, don't dawdle. It's not like<BR>CA=
or something, but it needs to be wet when you join the=
parts.<BR><BR>Q: Do I have much wiggle room for moving=
slightly? A: You bet. NOTHING like<BR>contact cement or=
CA. You can squish and squirm it into position.<BR><BR>Q: I=
understand I don't need to clamp...? A: The only time I've=
clampped is<BR>if the key is a little warped or=
something.<BR><BR>Q: Let dry 24 hours before trimming? A: Nah.=
More like half an hour, tops.<BR><BR>I wouldn't use anything=
else: For tops, it's tops.</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
