	Pianotek's hammer hardener is described as acrylic. I have used it,  
and have found it acceptable (haven't used it that much). I like it  
better than actual keytop dissolved in acetone, which I have not used  
myself (only followed other people who used it). I wonder what  
differences there are between acrylics. There is also acrylic lacquer.
