Paul, I have used it quite extensively. It's not an invisible repair, but it can come close. It is translucent like real ivory, so surface prep and cleanliness are important. Labor is about 1/3 that required for replacement. The ads say there's enough material for 50 repairs. I've probably done twice that on a kit I bought 2 years ago, and I've barely made a dent in the supplies. I've been meaning to ask Richard Wagner about shelf life/contamination; I suppose at some point I'll have to throw out what I've got and buy a new kit. A tech in our chapter obtained his retiring dentist's light-cured acrylic filling kit, which seems a little easier to use, but unless you fall into a good deal it would be much pricier than the $40 for Acrylikey. hope this helps Mike > [Original Message] > From: Paul Chick <paulchick@myclearwave.net> > To: Piano Technicians Guild <pianotech@ptg.org> > Date: 10/17/2003 11:37:22 PM > Subject: Acrylikey > > Hey all, > > I was wondering if anyone has ever used Acrylikey II for ivory "repair". > Next to replacing the ivories, is this any good?
