PVC-E is handy for gluing keytops and felts.

    David,

    Wisconsin. 0 to 100, occasionally. Protek, CA, Titebond, and PVCE travel
    in my tuning kit. About an ounce each, except for the 4oz bottle of 
    Protek. The tuning kit travels with me, and comes into the house at the
    end of the day. Following one very unhappy experience, I keep the CA
    bottle (1 oz) inside a Ziploc bag.
    Why Duco?
    What's Barge?

  Hi David, Mike,
  I'm also in Wisconsin I carry Titebond 4oz., Protek 4oz, and I've found a very sturdy CA bottle by Loctite it's a gel that dispenses a drop at a time by squeezing the sides of the bottle. I've gotten it at Walmart and home centers for under $3. I don't use CA a lot, just for the occasional cracked flange or on Kawai's styran componants. If I feel I'll need my cold hide glue on a particular day, I'll throw it in my bag unless it's very cold out, then I carry it in an inside pocket of my coat, in a baggie. Mike why do you carry the PVCE? 

  Mike
