Sticky plastic key tops

[Terry Beckingham]

John,

I find that most tape backing glues will come off with a little varsol. It
won't hurt plastic keytops. There is also a product called "Goo Gone" sold
at Home Hardware stores which works very well. I believe it is a citrus
product as it smells like lemon. I don't know what either product would do
to ivory though.

sticky substance is some tape backing..... pretty thick. I tried detergent
and a damp cloth which just spread it around. Brilliant! I trued toothpaste.
Only about 50 per cent effective.
