I epoxy pins in new bridges too. The pins drive in easier, and it 
supplies another layer of insurance against loose pins. I don't know 
that it is a better or longer lasting approach than CA, but it's 
handy and a lot less smelly. Also, I get nervous when swinging 
hammers meet  pools of CA. Epoxy doesn't splash quite as easily.

I agree. It would seem that CAing a bridge pin with the string in 
place would cause as many problems as it cures, but that doesn't 
prove to be the case in real life. A happy discovery for tuners 
faced with unacceptable bridge terminations.
