It sounds like you're thinking that the unfinished side of the keyslip

is going to pick up moisture while the other side does not, thus causing

unequal expansion and bowing.





When refinishing, I will spray a few coats of sealer

on the back side of the key slip for this reason.





When there are screws along the rail securing it in place, plug the central

holes in the key slip and reinstall with the end screws and a shim in the center

to force it away from the keys. Drill new central screw holes. Problem solved.
