Sounds about right.
You can wipe off the excess on the back side that is visible, but don't wipe it completely dry.
If you are using fresh parts that don't have excess play from wear, you shouldn't need anything else than Associated's stock pin. If the pins you are using are at least as strong as AE's, you will be fine. If that pin is in new parts and it breaks or wears out the cva parts, you should have stuck with AE's pin.
