Here is an alternate opinion Use the rubbing alcohol. The water is beneficial. The block is starving for water, that's why the pins are loose. The water gives you immediate results. Otherwise you have to wait until the humid weather comes to get any beneficial results from the dope in the first place. Even add some water (you be the judge of how much). The alcohol helps deliver the water to the cells, and the glycerine helps keep it there. I don't buy the theory that dope ruins the pinblock. It is already ruined. The dope wil in many cases give you years of good service. "Don't throw the baby <grand> out with the 'pinblock' water."
