This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment For larger bridge cracks and repairs I prefer epoxy. It is better at gap filling, cures harder and has better adhesion properties. I prefer CA glue for securing loose bridge pins or when the cracks are hairline and you need wicking properties. I wouldn't expect either to fail if you didn't use the material beyond what it was designed for. CA glue on loose tuning pins is hard to predict since the pin is being moved periodically, however, I have used this repair on several occasions and have not had a problem even after several years.
