Hi List. Living in a dry area I see plenty of the type of problem. I do the following in this order 1.....Punch the pin in deeper 2.... Remove pin and place a 1/4 inch strip of Medium sand paper .(grit side out) or even a piece of your business card at THE BOTTOM OF HOLE. Because most of the time the hole is oval shaped the packing is needed at the bottom and not the top or sides.Turn the pin in.do not punch it in or you risk distorting the packing. 3 Replace with a larger pin.. 4 Tell them to throw the piano out to the dump if the whole of the pin block is faulty and the age and condition of the piano does not warrant major repairs. CA glue is new to me ,so all I can say is that when you have the pin out I would prefer to pack or replace the pin rather than glue it. If anyone has the answer for jumping Pins in Chinese Pianos I would be glad to hear it. I have tried all the tricks, but all seem to fail. Knocking them in does not seem to change them. Removing and putting a powder lubricant seems to have no effect at all. I think that they are just the result of a very poorly designed and made Pin Block. Regards Robin (Aussie)
