I have put oversize pins in a CA'ed <br> block. They were quite tight, and have stayed that way, <sigh>, but I haven't <br> yet <br> seen CA not add at least 20% more torque to a pin. I don't see any reason to <br> mix up the pin sizes in this block when a squirt of water-thin CA will bring <br> the torque up the occasional looser pin. If it doesn't float the boat, there <br> are lots of options, ie, half-size pins, etc. to get exactly the torque and <br> feel you want. <br> Regards, <br> <br> Ed Foote RPT <br> <a href="http://www.uk-piano.org/edfoote/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.uk-piano.org/edfoote/index.html</a><br> <a href="http://www.uk-piano.org/edfoote/well_tempered_piano.html" target="_blank">www.uk-piano.org/edfoote/well_tempered_piano.html</a><br> <BR><BR><BR>**************<BR>Get trade secrets for amazing burgers.
