This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hey Joe, I was told that the reason you don't need to clamp when using PVC-E is that as it cures it contracts, basically self-clamping. Subsequently it is great for keytops and felt. When I install keytops with PVC-E, I squeeze the key briefly in a padded vice to ensure that the keytop is on the stick good and to remove any extra glue. After that you can "Set it and forget it." Works great!

Yeah, Yeah, I know. You've been using it for "nigh on to 40 yars and it ain't gived up yit!" Horse pucky. I've had several customers tops fail and had to make all kinds of explanations, apologies, etc.!!! Don't like being in that situation? Then use PVC-E or the olde method, (which I won't tell you younguns cuz it's best ya don't know!<G>) Best Regards, P.S. Someone said they don't clamp w/PVC-E. How the hell duz ya do that, with any good bonding???? Joe Garrett, R.P.T. Captain, Tool Police Squares R I ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
