Ian

    thank you. Great job doing musical instrument repairs. I forgot, one
    time I made a series of knobs for an oboe, if memory serves out of
    old stock ivory. 

    jade is great for heat tolerance and thermal shock, you can even hit
    with a hammer and forge over it if you need to. 

    that is exactly what i am doing leaving room for future repairs,
    and/or tonal adjustments. 

    a) stick to jade, mating surfaces finished to a 180 or 220 grit
    surface, and 

    b) be removable with heat, say in the range of 150-200 deg F. can
    probably go up to 250 or 275 deg F if needed. 

    Have you used one or another of the hot melt adhesives with success? 

warm regards
Mark Zirinsky, Denver
