Jim Geiger, my teacher, advocated wicking the thin CA glue around pins without removing them. I did so successfully in a Brambach grand, restrung some ten years ago, which had five pins in a row that wouldn't hold. The pins are not "tight", but they have held for a couple of years. les Leslie Bartlett M. Mus Houston Chapter PTG lesbart@juno.com
