<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Loren</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(THIN) <FRESH> CA, wicks
almost totally into the wood and arround the pin leaving almost no trace that CA
has been used. This can be done without removing the pins or lowering the string
tension. Tuning usually goes a little sharp ( about 5 to ten cents ) but is
manageable. I like to do this at or very near tuned pitch or after a pitch raise
that has shown the problem area.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Epoxy with heat sometimes still leaves residue that
needs to be cleaned up. The added heat truly changes the tuning a
bunch.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hot hide glue, wont that require pulling the pins?
And all the extra tuning that goes with that?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Bottom line the work involved. I'm sort of lazy

<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT face=arial,helvetica><FONT size=2 PTSIZE="10">When
repinning an existing bridge that looks great except has pins that are loose
enough to pull without tools, why not just use the old standard hot hide glue,
perhaps thinned a little, to reset the pins? <BR><BR>How would that compare to
CA or epoxy in the final result? <BR><BR>Loren Hedahl</FONT>
