I used a Barbecue butane lighter one of the long ones. It worked pretty well accept it would soot the outside of the cups. I used stick glue that I chopped up and put the pieces in the cup and heated it from underneath. In hind sight, the glue pellets that music medic sells would be easier to deal with if you don't have a glue gun. The butane torch may make things easier but it is not necessary. Really all you need is glue and pads to start and jewlers screw drivers to remove the keys. Leveling can be done after the key is installed by reheating the pad cup. The leveling takes practice. You can check for leaks by closing all the keys and plugging the end and sucking on the section you are working on. Your first few jobs won't be perfect. I need to work on shimming the keys with cork to get the right amount of opening next.
