<<Very interesting, Mike. I'm just curious now...are you using thin, medium or thick ca? And, are you using the accelerant. About how much glue does it take? I heard from one source about 4oz. Thanks- Sam Grossner, Chicago>> Hi, Sam - How do you like this weather? I've used CA glue to tighten up individual pins and it's worked very well. I would not use the accelerant, because it feels kind of oily and I'm not exactly sure what's in it. This is a technique I learned from Bill Spurlock and he suggested using plain water as an accelerant. I remove the pin from the hole, squirt in a little CA glue (thin viscosity) spread it around in there with a hammer shank ( being careful NOT to glue the hammer shank in the hole.....) , use a hammer shank to spread the water in the hole. Wait a minute and return the pin to the hole. Works great! Laura Kunsky (also, Chicago area)
