[Fwd: Pinblock Repair.]

[Jim]

There is no springiness in the compression of Epoxy.  Thru long term
it may not hold up the torque.  We even tried plastic bushings for
the entire pin and found them to not hold up over long term and
climatic changes.  Using fibreglas resin or epoxy to fill the gaps in
wood does seem to work well over long term.
