If you have the time to wait for the glue to dry on its own, I guess you 
don't have to use the kicker. I have never let this glue dry on its own, so I 
don't know how long it would take. That is why I use the kicker. It sets the 
glue within 10 seconds. I get instant results, and I can move on to the next 
project.

I have never used CA glue for pin block repairs. But I guess the same goes 
for this, as it does with the bridge pins.
