Hi Jack,

(Don't say that out loud in an airplane!)

Seriously, I don't think I put the PVC-E glue on too thick, but perhaps I 
did.  My mistake was most likely in not clamping the key overnight.  I 
observed the ivory piece curling up approximately 10 to 15 minutes after 
attaching it with PVC-E glue.
