Di Duaine, I do the PR first to help identify the ones that really won't hold. so using chalk on the ends of the tuning pins that simply will not hold helps me remember which ones may need special attention. I do not watch for drops as my hand is too shakey <G> but allow the glue well up to just before the running on the plate point. also you can get your nose further away from the fumes which are very toxic. This might be one reason we could not find CA in Japan. Sometimes the bushing or the open faced pin block wood is very dry and the glue will not soak all arround the pin base. In this case using a two application approach is best, as when you come back the second time the glue will soak to the other side. I leave the chalk marks until the pin shows me it needs no further treatment.
