<< hat you use the thin stuff but,
 1.  Do you putt CA on pin where it enters the bushing and let it run down
into
 the block?
 2.  How much CA do you actually use?
 3.  Do you put it all the way around the circuference of the pin or just on
 one or two sides?
 4.  Where do you buy CA in bigger quantities than the itsy bitsy tubes?

Yes put it at the bushing.  Let it soak in until it will take no more.  I
usually come back to the pin(s) several times within a ten or so minute
period.  The block will "tell" you when it wants no more.  Do the
circumference.  You can buy CA at Hobby stores.  They sell it in several
viscosities:suggest you get the very thin, and the medium.  I buy several at a
time (about $6.00 per bottle) , mark the bottle with magic marker as follows:
# 1 of 2 ; #2 of 2, etc.  This helps you keep track of your inventory.  I put
the bottle(s) I'm not currently using in the refrigerator.  This increases
shelf life.

If you're working on a grand piano, I would recommend you cover the action
with foil or some other protection for the action.  Better safe than sorry.

Hope this helps.. It's great stuff!  It will even cure the common cold.

By the way-be sure you are always ventilating the area in which you are
working with this stuff.  It emits Cyanide fumes.  That's how it cures the
common cold.  It kills the victim, but he/she will never have the cold again.
