This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment List, I tried a new set of keytops, for me, today...Kluge. I usually use Sch= aff's keytops...the Kluge were in connected sets of 7...C through B. = Right off the bat I had to break the sets apart, which was a pain...in = fact until I figured out the secret (carefully break from the tail unti= l down to the front, then bend/break in that plane), I broke one front = and had to carefully fit that together when gluing...after that I found= (opposite of the Schaff keytops) that the keytop front didnt' want to = adhere to the front of the key...in other words it didn't have any inhe= rent pressure towards the key's front surface. With the Schaff, the a= ngle of the keytop front made the adhesion good but tended to push the = keytop up at the top front area and I'd get separation unless I clamped= . The Kluge keytop fronts are apparently at 90 degrees to the top. I= ended up using blue painters tape to come from the key button stretche= d across the keytop and over the front and underneath the key to apply = pressure and keep the front against the keys front surface...I hope thi= s is clear? At first I didnt' like the difference but in retrospect I= didn't have to clamp the keys, the blue tape did the trick... Anyone else have any comments about Kluge...whatever...
