opinions on this CA job for loose tuning pins

[Dean May]

A hypo oiler is the best way to apply it in such a situation. It is also
helpful to shine your flashlight (even put your reading glasses on if you're
near 50 like me) so that you can see and react instantly if glue starts
running down the plate. Have your Q-Tips nearby so that if too much starts
running down you usually have enough time to pick up a Q-Tip and swab it up.

Blessings,

Dean

Couple of times I've tried CA on a non-tipped vertical, it dripped down, got

into the string/pressure bar contact point. Big wince, Q-tips and debonder 
to try to minimize damage. Once it dripped onto a damper. I feel very 
nervous about trying it again. Can you talk about how you apply it?
