Also, it occurs to me and which is apropos to the current discussion, I =

never seen tuning pins (which are prone to corrosion if they get wet)
corrode from CA glue when applying them as a tightening agent. =20

I wondered the same thing, David. I wonder if the CA somehow got the =

water against the string, or something? I've never had trouble with wire
breaking after I use CA at the base of tuning pins, and sometimes some =

Are you sure it was the CA glue?  I have used CA glue to secure loose =
bridge
pins sometimes applying the CA directly to the pins without removing the
wire.  I have never noticed any tendency toward corrosion in these =
areas.  I
have also tacked understring felt with CA at times (though not the thin
understring cloth) and not noticed any problems either. =20
