<DIV align=left><SPAN class=016554807-08112006><FONT face=Arial> I CA'd a grand pinblock yesterday, and it did tighten up the pins, but I don't think all that </FONT></SPAN><SPAN class=016554807-08112006><FONT face=Arial>much CA got down the tuning pin holes. There was a gap between the bottom of the plate and the top of the block, and the top surface was downhill toward the belly rail, so a good deal of my CA ran toward the back edge of the pinblock and dripped down onto the newspapers I had on the keybed. What a waste! The stuff ain't cheap. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=016554807-08112006> <FONT face=Arial>But how could I have known in advance that the top of the pinblock wasn't level? The top of the plate surrounding the tuning pins seemed level. If I had known, I would've jacked up the rear leg a bit. But how far? If the plate above the pinblock isn't precisely a uniform thickness, you can't be sure. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=016554807-08112006> Now I'm reluctant to CA again if there appears to be a noticeable gap </SPAN><SPAN class=016554807-08112006>between the plate and block (I suppose there's always some), for fear the CA will just run all over the top of the pinblock and not get down the holes.</SPAN></DIV>
