[CAUT] keytops

I like PVC-E.  It's best for materials that have different expansion rates since it remains somewhat flexible after it dries.  Clamp time is minimal and can be very light.

What is the current preferred glue for new plastic keytops?  I   
thought contact cement was the glue of choice, but I've seen some bad   
key top jobs with the glue letting go.  It looks like the glue was   
contact cement, but I'm not sure.  One of the supply houses touts PVC-E. 
Any suggestions?
