Bridge Pin/Epoxy Question

[Farrell]

Tell me about tensile strength and CA glue. If CA is as strong or stronger
than epoxy, I will use it next time. I use it for so many things and just
LOVE it. What exactly is tensile strength? Is this the type of strength
measurement we are concerned about for setting pins that are locked into the
bridge? How does CA glue compare with good epoxy in this strength
measurement? I would rather use CA if it is as good. Lemmme no. Thanks
