Glue Summary was Reblitz: Glue pots vs glue sticks

You don't need to loosen the pins.

  Greetings,

        I heard you flip the piano on its back (uprights) , loosen the pins, drop a few drops CA down each pin. then maybe go back and apply a second helping if pin(s) is/are still loose, and retune in 24 hours or so. I tried it on an old uprught in my garage...worked for me!   I turned the pins down while applying the stuff. Some bass pins needed 3 goes. My theory is that it dries and crunches up / gets sandy in there, and "tightens" the pins. Hope this helps...PLease know that I am a 4th year rookie.

    How would you applicate it to a warn pinblock? Even with the pins still in 
    the block or after removing the pins and frame? And does this "repair" last 
    for long or only a few month or so?
