Does Pin Tightener Destroy?

[Charly Tuner]

CAn you apply "CA" to vertical pins while upright, or should you lay it on 
its back? If this is the case, then performing this task at a customer's 
home, to tighten some or several loose pins seems like a major undertaking, 
compared to either punching the loose pins, or replacing them with the next 
size.
