Keep in mind that until the CA really sets up, it will continue to be absorbed into the wood. The point being that even if you did get CA overflowing the pin hole annulus down onto the soundboard, if the hole annulus ful of CA hadn't set up at the time of overflow, for whatever period of time between the point of overflow and the point of setting up, much of the CA may have soaked into the wood of the bridge Once the CA finally set, the hole annulus still may not be filled completely. Wow, that seems so overly technical. All I wanted to say was that even though the CA overflowed, there still may be a gap!
