I am trying to fix a few joints they are held together by pins. I was wondering if anyone had every been able to do it. If so, how?

I think you should check out the thread by kup earlier:
http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=7167

part of it tells you how to strengthen the pin joint (which is basically pull out the pin and coat it the inner entrance with a thin layer of superglue, although I dont know how general this method is since I have no experience)

then there's also this thread by lint:

particularly the post by lcz128 (post #7) as that has a useful link

also found this page to be quite useful:

Thanks for the good word but don't coat the pin itself! It would make it super hard for the pin to go back in. Only coat the inner entrance to the pin hole as mentioned in my thread.

Just put a small drop of glue into the joint and move it around till dry. Works for me :D
