face="Bookman Old Style" size=2>As an addendum, Dave, how is it you know
there is a gap between the block and the plate?? Without taking them
apart, it would seem hard to tell. Are you assuming that since
CA leaked out one side that there is a gap? If so, I'd caution
against that assumption, and echo what both I and Dean wrote regarding
quantity of CA and rate of application (little bit at a
time).</FONT></SPAN></FONT></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> I CA'd
a grand pinblock yesterday, and it did tighten up the pins, but I don't
think all that 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. </SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>

face=Arial><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 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. </SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>

there appears to be a noticeable gap 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.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
