Yes, a  second application can improve things (key word: can.  not 
guaranteed).  I see you're in a so-called temperate climate, so humidity 
is at or near annual high?  If they're loose now, they'll be worse in 
January.  Best time to apply CA is at annual low humidity, not high.  
Good luck.

The tuning pins are too loose to hold a tuning, but somebody at some point in the past has already used CA glue on them. Is there any point in another CA application, or is it a hopeless case at this point?  I've already told them there's not a lot I can do for it at this point, but like schools everywhere there's not enough money to spend on extensive repairs or a new piano.
