Cracked bridge "Cracked bridge" (Aug 25, 10:37pm)

[Newton Hunt]

Hi, Larry,
	If the crack is not so great that you would have a run off problem I
would clamp it up nice and tight, align the pins if needed, and slowly drip
thin CA glue around the pins and into the crack until all interior spaces have
been filled up to the top.  Have a box of face tissues nearby the use as wicks
to wick up excess CA.
	Some advantages of CA glue is it is so thin it will get into any crack,
even around supposed tight pins.  It dries hard.  Cure time is four hours. It
is available in three viscosities.
	I routinely use CA around bridge pins on all rebuilds, just to get the
pins tight.
	You can get CA from Ed Dryburg at 1-800-GLUEALL.  You can use plastic
for faster service.
