Johnathan, Not you're not repeating yourself... I've never used CA glue on tuning pinns and wouldn't recoomend doing so.. I know a technician who has with disasterous results. I use "Pin Tite" myself to chemically treat pinblocks, and I must say it does wonders. It's about $25-30 a bottle of 8oz and lasts for a few pianos. I have crossed a Wurlitzer recently the owner told me that a technician used CA on it a bit while ago, after trying to set the temperament I fully refused to tune the piano, pins were jumping and every blow i gave a key, pin slipped...

So I hope I'm not repeating myself. Has anybody had any experience using CA glue on pin blocks and subsequently restringing? How do the pins feel after a treatment? Do they jump? How long does it last? And if they do start losing their hold after a few years, or if the job turns out to be one of the 10% that doesn't work, can one still go back to simply restringing?
