<html> I have discovered that CA fails over time on ivory repair. I thought I was rather clever by wicking it in under the loose front edge but within a year or two the ivories came loose again. Quick field repairs also came off. Contact cement looses its grip also. The only solid repairs have been with hot hide glue with titanium oxide mixed in 5:1. But most people do not want the expense of doing it right and opt for the quick fix knowing another quick fix is down the line.

I take care to clean the ivory and keystick, but usually find that repair has failed. I don't wet either piece with anything in the cleaning process, just scrape the surfaces and wipe off with a clean rag before applying the CA. What am I missing? Paul Chick</blockquote></html>
