I thought of doing this but didn't know if it would work given the larger scale. I'm going to try the whittling first and see if that eliminates the sticking problem. If it does, the twist would be more cosmetic. The client just wants the key to work... I'll let you know.

I'd get pretty aggressive with the heat. Got a heat gun? IMHO, a kettle with steam AND the heat gun at the same time might just do it. Let the heat do most of the work - you don't want to break the keystick in half. It may take a while to heat it thoroughly - just guessing, maybe at least ten or fifteen minutes, maybe a half hour or an hour. Give it a few minutes at first and somewhat gently try to rotate it back - just keep trying it while keeping the rotational force well below what might break the key. Good luck! Let us know if this works. > > Terry Farrell -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
