Ron, Maybe it's just the time of night and I have a bad case of cerebral flatulence, but I'm trying to picture what you're describing. I was thinking that the pumice would be touching the key top, but then you say the cloth conforms to the irregularities of the key top. So the vision in my head doesn't match the vision in my head... Well, that statement makes perfect sense to me at the moment. :-) In the interest of avoiding a 1,000 word treatise on the matter, do you have a photo?

As those who know me will suspect, and those who don't won't ever, I have a reason for this. Sandpaper om a block requires leveling the surface, where wet pumice on a piece of hammer rail cloth glued to a chunk of maple doesn't, courtesy of the cloth conforming to the irregularities of the molded key top. Time, effort, monetary return, simplicity, and quality results are the criteria. This meets them all for me, and I like it. > > Ron N >
