[pianotech] CA pinblock with tight bushings?

[Cy Shuster]

I use the thinnest CA and a veterinary hypo needle. I don't even bother to tilt uprights anymore, because it wicks in so readily. Try it without drilling.

I believe this person had not tried it yet, but was considering it.  I have a situation (newish Asian grand, tight bushings, loose block) where this might be the only way to get the CA where it belongs.  Has anyone tried this technique, and if so, with what results?
