If you pin correctly, the wedge will stay in place because of the pressure caused by pinning.

That's a good point. I've used glue before, glueing wedge to one scale, never both. Also did it without glue. Seems like good advice not to. Other guys use it maybe it helps in some respects and they might say "just don't mess up"..?
It would suck to screw up hours of work...

Always use CA on mine,when cured just run a 1/16 bit thru the hole held in a pinvice than peen it,never an issue.

Most of the time I do not glue my wedges. There have been times though when making crooked scales for crooked razors that I have glued the wedge on both sides and then got everything trimmed and ready to pin, drilled it cut the glue off and then pinned it. In a perfect situation with a perfect blade going into perfect scales you can just pin and go. It is when $&*& is all @$***& that you start to find new angles of attack and sometimes tha's when the glue comes out. If everything gets lined up the solvent comes out and then you can move forward.
