Have restrung for years in new blocks, but in a university, we mainly repin. Perhaps we could discuss types of torque wrenches, their use, and the numbers one could expect in various situations. Repinning mainly in five ply S&S blocks using Diamond pins. Also, a thread was recently completed re varnish swabbing, types etc (spar?). And as if that weren't enough, what about gun brushes? Brass. stainless, caliber? My apologies if this restarts a too recently completed thread. I am actually most interested in the torque procedures and numbers. Many thanks in advance for the use of your collective knowledge. Warmest regards- David PS-Feel free to post privately if too long for list. David C.
