This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment FWIW, I'd sure question the integrity of any glue joint that required a = physical lock to keep the glue joint from failing. If the glue joint may = not hold, then you should seek an alternative approach, IMHO. Terry Farrell Terry! Here is a simple technic to insert plugs in pin blocks.It was = shown to me by late Dennis Nicholson,RPT. Step 1:drill larger hole,63/64" Step 2:apply Titebond glue to both surfaces Step 3:insert the plug in the hole,level it with the face of the = pinblock. Step4: with the drill 7/32" drill a hole 1/2" deep so half of the = hammer shank hole is in the plug and the other half in the pin block. Step 5:apply glue to a hammer shank and drive 1/2" piece of = hammershank in that hole. now that piece of hammershank acts a s a LOCK and prevents new plug = from spinning around when drilling a new hole for tuning pin.You can = start drilling hole for tuning pin immidiately,no waiting overnight for = glue to cure.THis is old woodworking technic and there are severall more = applications for it in our line of work I hope,i made this description clear.If any questions,feel free to = call me 818-706-0429 GOOD LUCK! Isaac Is epoxying the best way to fix these plugs ore are there = better glues? Thanks for some advice.
