CA Glue / Pin tightner ... new angle

[Alan R. Barnard]

Seems like the CA would be brittle and just fracture away when drilled. But
do try and let us know.

> 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.

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.
