Jim Love Hi Jim, I have only tried CA glue on a couple of occasions, but I was not pleased with the result. It did have a positive effect on the tuning pin torque, but I found that the fumes tended to turn the plate web white. Also I found that the glue traveled up the pin to the coil and locked it firmly to the tuning pin. Perhaps I was not applying it correctly. Maybe some on the list who has had more experience with it can outline the correct way to apply it. I used Hot Stuff Red which is very thin. Regards Terry Beckingham
