<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings list, I'm with Dave Nereson =
on this one
Ken. Hydrochloric acid, a flourescent strip light and lots of =
patience are
needed to whiten ivory. I use one strip bulb, which must be left =
on all
the time including overnight. Arrange the keys underneath the =
light and
apply the acid with cotton wool several times a day. It can take a =
week or
two depending on how yellow your keys are.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When they are done, buff the key tops =
with a
buffing wheel if possible, to make them shine. Do not get any acid =
on your
skin, so wear gloves. In the UK you can only get the =
acid from a
chemist, who will want some proof of what it will be used =
for.
Good luck. </FONT></DIV>
