David: Yes. For how long under bearing and friction pressure? Look at a few pins under a microscope sometime to see the abrasion. Even with the grit side out. It's a useful short-term half-measure if there's nothing else to do in the field. But not a pretty one.

I've heard it mentioned several times that using sandpaper on loose tuning pins is the best way to go. My question is; Do you glue the sandpaper on the pins or? I keep thinking that as you pound the pin back in it will peel off the sandpaper. Also what is the best grit to use? ? Ron Boyd Milwaukee chapter #532 ? ? ? ? ?
