MessageThis sounds like a solvent-thinned epoxy or polyester resin =
commonly used to solidify rotten wood. I suppose it might have =
beneficial effects on a loose tuning pin. I would hate to be the person =
having to tune the piano after application of this stuff though. One =
nice thing about CA glue is that is has very low shear strength it will =
fill the gap around a loose tuning pin, get pretty darn hard, and yet =
let the tuning pin turn with enough applied torque.

CA may not be the only way, but it is certainly a good way, and perhaps =
among the best band-aid approaches.
