re-stringing and CA

Larger pins (lo-torque or otherwise) have to put more splitting pressure =
on the pinblock, possibly causing further damage.  Using same-size =
replacement pins and pre-treating the holes with CA might fill in some =
existing cracks and make the block stronger.  Would you swab the holes =
first and let it dry before driving in (or dropping in!) the pins, or do =
it in one go?

Just guessing, here...

  Hello John and List
  The old pins are grotty, rusted and deformed and would not be worth =
preserving and re-bluing. Apart from which the old pins will have their =
scoring (the end part of the pin which is in the plank) filled with old =
wood particles and rust. The new pins will be chromed and indeed .. new. =
The object is to find out what your collective reaction is to CA-ing in =
new pins.
