<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I've successfully used CA many times on really loose
tuning pins. Much easier fix with no chance of breaking the becket or string. I
can't see why you would do it any other way. Last, last resort, sandpaper does
work, sand side to wood. Determine the grit by how loose the pin is. 80, for
really loose pins, 120, for med loose & 220 for, I really should have used
CA.</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>Ron,<BR>It does work, if the pins are VERY loose. No need to
glue anything anywhere, just roll it up grit side out, pop it in the hole and
bang the pin back in. The grit will hold it in place. As for grade, I guess you
could adjust depending on how much space you need to fill, but I think I've used
about 200ish. Whatever works! You can also try thin (0.5mm/0.020") wood
veneer if you have any handy. You would only want to use these for a pin or two,
as it is very time-consuming, and you are likely to break strings into the
bargain. </FONT></P>

??? If this is a serious case of pin-block failure, look at wood plugs <A

heard it mentioned several times that using sandpaper on loose tuning pins is
the best way to go. My question is:<BR>Do you glue the sandpaper on the pins or?
I keep thinking that as you pound the pin back in it will peel off the
sandpaper.<BR>Also what is the best grit to use?<BR><BR>Ron Boyd<BR>Milwaukee
