Having used CA for other things, I can second this. CA is
brittle. Ultra thin will wick down when you don't have time/budget
for the "proper" fix. But if you're going to pull the
pin, by all means use epoxy.<br><br>

it's no more difficult than CA, and I can only assume the epoxy will
provide more benefit - although I have not made any comparison test
between the two. I have epoxied many a pin in place. I routinely use
epoxy (West System) in every pin hole on a new bridge also.<br>

<dd>What do you think of slacking off a warbler treble string, pulling
out the pin if it's willing to come, and putting the CA into the hole --
versus just putting a drop at the bass of the pin without changing the
wire? Any benefits to getting more CA into the bridge? Worth the time and
tuning stability expended?<br><br>
<dd>I did this once on a few notes of (an unnamed but fairly new) grand
with tuning stability issues, and found that when I put CA glue down one
hole and put the bridge pin back in, CA spurted out of a neighboring
hole. Obviously, there can be cracks down there ... <br><br>
