About contact cement, I have replaced a few sets of keytops that had
been glued with contact, and found it VERY difficult to get to clean
wood again. The stuff stays gummy and I wasn't able to figure out a
solvent that actually did the job. I ended up scraping, wasting
sandpaper, and cussing a good deal. Has anyone successfully dealt with
this problem?
