Dear List,
         Relating to the soap post.....I've found that in a situation as was
described....something else was amiss! Soap would not likely wick through the
layers, multiply or not
Unless the screw holes are drilled precisely in the area of the pinblock
where it tapers and is narrow, inserting the screw can separate the
laminations thus causing failure.  Even if it is a multilamintated block this
same delayed effect can occur, sometimes taking a few years to become
evident.
        As far as plugs......might be yer best bet!
