CA glue questions (on the bridge)

[R Barber]

You must remove the strings from the bridge-  if you don't, the glue 
will mute the string at the termination point!   I treated a Lyon&Healy 
baby grand bridge with thin CA glue- followed by 5 tunings.  Turned a 
piece of junk the owner wanted to sell into something he wanted to keep.
The glue kept soaking into the cracks for about 7 applications.  Then I 
left it to cure overnight without accelerator.  The bass strings can go 
back on after a little clean-up.
It would be a good opportunity to replace bass strings.
