My fear has alway been = that you are going to lock the tuning pins in and not be able to turn = them. The way I understand that this works is that it gets into the fibres = of the wood and thickens them up making the tuning plank more stable. = Also it forms around the tuning pin and thickens it up as well thus = making it tight in the hole. In your test, did the pin become tighter than before applying CA ?. Doesn't Ron N write nicely, wish I could have said that. Tony Caught ICPTG Australia caute@optusnet.com.au Hi Tony, In general I think you are probably right, I must admit it was not an = old piece of maple that I did my experiments on.=20 Yes, the pin did become tighter, but after a few turns, the CA went = kinda crumbly. I have had some success with proprietary "Pintite" and = prefer "Quickset", but these will not work on really split dry planks. I may look out for a likely suspect to rerun the experiments with CA! Yes, Ron N does have an admirably lyrical style, and a jolly good = sense of humour to go with it!! regards, Tony ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
