I have never used kicker on bridge repairs with CA.  I say this not to 
disagree, but to question my not using it in the past.  Since the kicker only 
accelerates the drying of the glue, what's the hurry?  Why not just let the 
glue dry on its own?  I ask these quesitons out of naivete having used CA 
only on about a dozen bridges at this point. Still, just letting the glue 
dribble into the hole and letting it dry by itself seems to do the trick.  
(Pins are tight afterwards.)

Do you also use kicker when applying CA to a pin block?  (I haven't used it 
in that application either, also with seemingly good results.  Which doesn't 
mean I wouldn't be happy to get better results with the kicker!)

Just asking,
