[sdiy] Gluing Broken Keys Back Together?

[Tom Wiltshire]

Just to add another adhesive to the mix, I've done this using the plastic adhesive supplied with airfix kits. Sometimes I've added a bit of extra plastic as reinforcement on the back of the key.

Perhaps a more useful tip is that Brasso polishing fluid is good for polishing up the front of the key after the repair. It's actually a very mild abrasive, and works well (if slowly) for getting rid of any excess glue and making the join as invisible as possible.
