You would have to have VERY clean and smooth surfaces, color would be a problem (nothing stands out like a green ivory), and there is no gap-filling capacity.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So, no. Not for me.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>BTW never, never, never, ever use any contact cement --- except water-based -- for plastic keytops. Unless you want to watch them dissolve ...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Try the PCV-E. Clamping really isn't the big bugaboo you might think. If you hold it for just a short while, it sets enough that the pieces don't drift.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> <DIV>Alan Barnard</DIV> <DIV>Salem, Missouri</DIV> <DIV> </DIV></DIV></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt Arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A title=thetuner@ivories52.com href="mailto:thetuner@ivories52.com">Geoff Sykes</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To: </B><A title=joegarrett@earthlink.net href="mailto:joegarrett@earthlink.net">joegarrett@earthlink.net</A>;<A title=pianotech@ptg.org href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org">Pianotech</A></DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> 01/05/2006 12:54:48 PM </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> RE: Adhesive for Ivories</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV><FONT size=2> <DIV><SPAN class=312495318-05012006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Is there anything wrong with using contact cement, or rubber cement?</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV></DIV> <DIV class=OutlookMessageHeader lang=en-us dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>-----Original Message-----<BR><B>From:</B> pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org] <B>On Behalf Of </B>Joseph Garrett<BR><B>Sent:</B> Thursday, January 05, 2006 8:35 AM<BR><B>To:</B> pianotech<BR><B>Subject:</B> Re: Adhesive for Ivories<BR><BR></FONT></DIV> <P> <DIV>David said: " <DIV>PVC-E glue is the glue of choice for most of us.
