    The glue Is a much better idea as long as you have a solvent that will easily dissolve the glue.

    Hi @Russian 22

    Yes, heh heh, definite no-no don't braze any key in, tin solder it. Epoxy itself goes quite soft when the real heat is on, but not sure if any solvent will readily dissolve epoxy?

    But it's getting complicated. How about just knocking a hole in plaster board and encasing your key in the repair?
