PVC-E glue is great for some applications....... but where there is
a <br>
constant repetitive force applied such as on butts and catchers is not
one of <br>
them. Since PVC-E stays flexible it will allow 'slippage' when force is
<br>
applied. A better choice for your application would be one of the
formulated <br>
adhesives such as DUCO or other brand which is designed to slightly etch
<br>
plastic as part of the adhering process.<br>
I don't know if CA would work...but if it does I would tend to go with
the <br>
'gel' rather than one of the thinner types.<br>

Since PVA dries more rigid than PVC-E, that statement is probably
referring to keytops<br>
because when the keystick expands with humidity the keytop would not
expand and crack.<br>
