Much gas has been percolated and excreted. Thanks. I was originally picturing a block of pumice, hence the gust of wind from my ears. So where do you find the FFF pumice?

Picture a wood block, maybe 1"x 2"x 3/4" thick, with a piece of upright hammer rail cloth glued to one side. That cloth is the pad that holds the wet pumice, and the wood block is the handle. I keep a shallow flat bottomed bowl with a little water in it close by, dip the cloth in the water (holding the handle), sprinkle on a pinch of pumice, and scrub the pumice into the key top with the cloth. Repeat until gloss is gone from the key top. Move on to next key top. It's just like sanding, only the pumice supplies the abrasive grit and the hammer rail cloth replaces the paper. > Ron N >
