Thanks Jon. What is "showhite"? In this particular case the ivories =
appear to be glued very securely, but for the future....

In a case like this where the only defect is the hairline crack in each =
ivory, do you (or anyone) recommend adding a small filet of Acrylikey =
along the corner of the forward end of the underside of the keytop and =
the top of the keyfront to increase the strength of the keytop overhang =
(perhaps the hairline crack had nothing to do with the small unsupported =
overhang)?

Make certain the ivory is secure to the key first,
  wick in thinned hot glue/showhite and clamp if loose.

  'V' out the crack and apply AKII. A pointed tool could scrape the =
edges
  but I use a small ball grinder bit in a Dremel Tool.
