Using sandpaper on tuning pins.

[paulrevenkojones at aol.com]

 David:

Yes. For how long under bearing and friction pressure? Look at a few pins under a microscope sometime to see the abrasion. Even with the grit side out. It's a useful short-term half-measure if there's nothing else to do in the field. But not a pretty one.

Paul,

Grit side is out, not against the pin.

Think abrasive grit against the fine threads of tuning pins. Think rather
of using hardwood veneer shims in the tuning pin hole.

I've heard it mentioned several times that using
sandpaper on loose tuning pins is the best way to go. My question is;


Do you glue the sandpaper on the pins or? I keep thinking that as you
pound the pin back in it will peel off the sandpaper. 

Also what is the best grit to use?
