[pianotech] ivory keytop repair

Here is a photo of the polyethylene block that I use as a dam on the
front of the key to do a Acryli-key repair. I tape it on with the
small bevel under the overhang and against the key front to make a
little extra support for the repair.

Also a photo of the super glue I use with the powder and the foam nail
emery board that came with the kit. It is flatter and bigger than the
usual emery boards. Finish with White Diamond metal polish for a nice
smooth finish. That makes the repair disappear.

Any chance you could send a photo of the polyethylene block you are using?
