 Greetings All,
               Black shoe dye works very well, can be obtained from you
 local shoe repair shop. Apply liberally and allow to soak in for 24hrs,
 then buff with 0000 steel wool. Does a great job of of cleaning up the key
 sticks so the finger nail scratches don't show. Fast cheap and simple.

I have heard that when using shoe dye, it tends to rub off on the hands of the
pianist. Could it be the brand or type of dye being used?

Just curious.
