Keytops

[David ilvedson]

I carry that "white-out, liquid paper stuff" in my ivory kit 
which I paint on the key before supergluing the ivory on.  Of 
course if the old wafer is still there and white I just clean it 
off with a razor blade glue away.  I carry the glue impregnated 
wafers and clamps but to do a factory job takes quite awhile and 
most customers would rather go with the quick fix.
