	Actually, Newton has beat me to to the reply, and I agree with all 
he has to say.  Let me add that I find CA glue a poor gap-filler 
unless you use some medium (wood flour or the like) to fill spaces 
you need to bridge (pun intended). I just finished a bass bridge cap 
that was cracking, but not enough to replace the cap. The filling 
method I outlined worked very well. My previous repairs have not 
come undone on other pianos, and I can say that this technique seems 
to work fine on bridges. 

Don't stick your fingers together...
