You are applauded for your uncompromising morals.  Of course the proper 
thing to do is replace the block or throw out the piano.  I don't know 
about you, but I, and certainly plenty of people on this list, have clients 
where neither of these scenarios is an option.  While you would *rarely* 
try to help a customer in this situation, I see nothing wrong with keeping 
their interests foremost in mind.  If  doping a block will allow them to 
extend the use of their piano, and as long as they are warned that it is 
not a permanent solution,  I see nothing wrong with offering this service.
