Weak pin block

Greetings, 

           Up in piano tuning school, we were advised to lay the piano on 
it's back via a piano tilter and use CA glue, or the old formula of violin rosin 
mixed with alcohol as a tightening agent for loose pins.

           Also, if the situation is bad enough, a piece of 150 grit 
sandpaper could be cut in about a 3/8" wide strip, the length of which would be twice 
the circumference of the pin, folded in half width wise and wrapped around the 
pin and put back in the hole. The folding in half width wise, allows you 
would wrap the grit towards the outside of the pin and there will be grit surface 
towards the inside of the pin, so that the grip occurs between the pin and the 
block's hole and the pin and the inside of the sandpaper. 
           I never had to try it yet as I have only been tuning for a little 
over a year. It worked at school and I would try it if I had the need.
Hope this helps.
