Keith,
Please put into writing that, under the circumstances you will try to improve it, but you cannot guarantee success due to the deterioration of previous adhesive and the possibility of compatability issues with possibility of premature failure.
It's amazing how people's memory fails after they think you "fixed" it but now it's happening all over again. She needs to know that there is a right way, and a wrong way to do this, and she is choosing the wrong way (but she'll forget that). DAMHIK!
Therefore I repeat: make sure you have some form of writing that expresses the fact that you cannot be held liable if this doesn't work as hoped, and that your advice was not taken on the matter.

25+ years in the keytop business says that they will need to be clamped. PVC-e or the stronger Roo Clear best bet for glue. They will most likely curl again in a day or more.

Newbie question: I have a client with an 80 year old parlor grand. The keys were recovered approximately 25-35 years ago. Some of the key tops are starting to unglue and curl.
Client will not re-cover the keytops. She just wants them glued back down. The curves ones will flatten easily but without a strong enough glue, they will pop back up.
Can I use something like Gorilla Glue or Crazy Glue on these plastic keytops?
Thank you!!
