This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Joe, A question. If you were in a position of having to restring without a new pin block, would you still use it? If so, is there anything else you would do before restringing? Just a rhetorical question, of course! :-) Avery -----Original Message----- From: pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org]On Behalf Of Joe Garrett Sent: Wednesday, February 23, 2005 9:56 AM To: pianotech Subject: Re: Your opinion on use of Pin driving fluid...was...snappy tuning pins Brad asked: "Would you use pin driving fluid, or spar varnish on every job with new block and stringing? What about Bolduc block, drilled with cobalt .257 bit (as recommended by Pianotek). Does every new block require pin driving fluid?" Thanks Brad, I was taught to use the stuff, by Del. However, I don't think he espouses it's use, today. (correct me, if I'm wrong, Del.<G>) There are many Rebuilders that do not use it, and get good results. IMO, it makes the pin block a bit more forgiving of drilling/density differences. SO....I strongly urge the use of Pin Driving Fluid. I've tried NOT using it and was not satisfied with the results. YMMV. Best Regards, Joe Garrett, R.P.T. Captain, Tool Police Squares R I ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
