Danny et al,

I've been using Titebond, just liberaly pouring it into the cavities or bays
of the plastic sharp and then inverting it on to the re-surfaced  keytop. No
actual part of the sharp bottom recieves any glue in this method. Quick.
Works great. No call backs thus far.

I learned this from  Randy Rush here in Seattle.
