It's ok to use super glue to fill in the pits all at once. Just tape over the contacts points on both sides and fill all the pits w/ super glue. It's ok for all the pits to be practically connected through super glue as it is non-conductive.
It's the conductive paint that you need to be careful with.

Also try to keep the superglue flat as you can. If it is too high it will make it tougher to bridge accross.

Yea I think Maxima is after Yodums crown. It is a pink one right? And Thanks for your help Maxima it is appreciated.
I've had problems unlocking an XP1600+. Fill the pits (I used epoxy) and then trim it with a hobby knife so that it is flat with the surface. The problem I had was that there was a coating on the metal pins which are recessed. Only after taking a sewing needle and carefully scraping the tops of these and removing the coating, which was clearly visible under the magnifying glass, was the unlock successful. I had 3 previous attempts. I have unlocked many Duron spitfires and Athlon T'birds successfully and couldn't understand why the proc wouldn't unlock.

Just do all the pits at once and use the tape method. It by far works the best!

wax to fill the pits
I used waxed to fill the pits, light a small candle and let it drip on the L1 bidges. Filled them perfect just scraped the excess off to make it nice and flat. Worked great for me,some have used orange or yellow crayons too. Its much easier then superglue and less sticky.lol

doesn't heat cause wax to melt. how has it held up and is it still thier. dunno know if the bridges get hot enough, but sounds a little strange to use a substance with a lower melting point on a cpu. just woundering.
