White out is really a paint. Lacquer thinner will dissolve it, but it will also attack the keys as well. I'd suggest scraping, sanding and polishing.

Thanks, Barbara Richmond, RPT near Peoria, Illinois A client of mine spilled white-out on her plastic (old Wurlitzer spinet) piano keys. She tried to get it off with water, to no avail. I called a stationery store and they don't have a clue but will try to find out the chemical composition of the stuff and get back to me. It's an important little piano for a poor church, so I want to help them. Any ideas? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
