Just yesterday I used CA to reinforce a cracked but not quite broken thru area around the balance rail hole. First I sealed the end grain as best as I could with one round of glue, then liberaly filled the area again and gave it a shot with the accelerater. I seriously doubt that key will break apart at the glue joint. So my point is, why all the fuss about using other glues, reinforcements and other methods more suitable for earlier decades. Does the vast majority out there think CA glue is a shlock repair or something? Just wondering, Joseph Alkana
