Yes. For how long under bearing and friction pressure? Look at a few pins under a microscope sometime to see the abrasion. Even with the grit side out. It's a useful short-term half-measure if there's nothing else to do in the field. But not a pretty one. <br>

Grit side is out, not against the pin.<br>

Think abrasive grit against the fine threads of tuning pins. Think rather
of using hardwood veneer shims in the tuning pin hole. <br>

<font size="4"><b>I've 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>
