curing loose t-pins w/sandpaper

[Cy Shuster]

Are you less likely to spread open existing pinblock cracks and make more
pins loose by using oversize pins, or by shimming with sandpaper?  Seems
like both ways force the hole bigger...

P.S.  Sounds like if either method makes neighboring pins loose, then it's
time for the CA, which would follow the crack and seal it as well as the
hole, no?
