Actually.... thats a perfect explaination Terry. Says exactly what I was trying to say about there being pretty much the same situation glue or not, in a much clearer fashion then I was able to. The only question I have left then is how significant the changes are. They would seem very slight unless you really used a lot of glue. But ok. I got all this clear now. Thanks. But surely this isnt what Joe was refering to in his origional point about the shear stress on the pin from the string pushing against it and the bridge resisting. I cant see how that gets much directly into the question of bridge cracking... with or without CA. Cheers ! RicB
