CA gluing Grand pinblocks & Uprights My take on it

Hi Ed,
             There also seems to be quite a range of qualities with CA 
products, and I have a gut feel that shelf life may be an issue.

I'm with you, re pin block repairs, it is far from temporary.  ( What ever 
that may mean?)      Repairs that I have I have done on S & S teflon 
bushings, and bridge pins also seem better than temporary.

Common sense and careful application is the name of the game.

Regards Roger
