CA Glue / Pin tightner ... new angle

[Carl Meyer]

I've done it several times.  Works fine.  It's expensive since it is an optical grade and the thinnest I've found.  I have since used others that are not as thin but are cheaper.  Eptec has a bulletin on that very process.  It still recommends redrilling oversize to expose new wood and using oversize pins.

A tuning pin turning in epoxy acts and feels strange.  I've noticed that. Since we've been talking  a lot about CA, I wonder?  CA seems to be much much harder that epoxy.  When I've used it to fill soundboard cracks it is difficult to scrape since it is so hard. Could it hold up to pins turning in it?  I think I'll try it.
