Yes, this is a good idea but I would suggest doing it from both the bottom 
and top.  Epoxy will work well too, it just has to be thinned enough with 
acetone so that it is watery and will soak into the deteriorated wood.  It 
should cost less than the same quantity of CA and the fumes will be far less 
harsh.  If the pinblock has been previously "doped" with another kind of 
solution, use CA.  It will blend with just about anything while the Epoxy 
will work best on mealy, dry and fragmenting wood.  Using two applications is 
also your best bet.

Good luck,
