Re: contact cement

Matt, I use shellac on the key "pads" only. I haven't noticed any problems. But I wasn't gifted enough to mount the cork on the joints the way Hans did using shellac. It never held for me, so I've always used contact cement on joints and keys. I first put the cement on the joint and then on the pre-cut cork to size. Then wait about 10 to 15 minutes for the contact cement to dry and place the cork on. Same process for the cork on the keys. (Not the pads, I use shellac to hold the pads) If there is some overlap of the cork I like using those women's nail file sticks and or the old fashioned shaving blades which are still available at a very low cost. 50 blades for maybe $5 online.
