I tried it on an old uprught in my garage...worked for me!   I turned the pins down <EM>while</EM> applying the stuff. Some bass pins needed 3 goes. My theory is that it dries and crunches up / gets sandy in there, and "tightens" the pins. Hope this helps...PLease know that I am a 4th year rookie.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Julia Gottshall</DIV> <DIV>Reading, PA</DIV> <DIV>   </DIV> <DIV>In a message dated 1/24/2007 4:07:56 AM Eastern Standard Time, karlkaputt@hotmail.com writes:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: blue 2px solid"><FONT face=Arial>>From: "Alan R.
