A new, perhaps very effective way to treat old blocks. Votesrequested.

[Farrell]

Web Phillips sells his "Wood Restorer". It smells like a polyester based two part material. I think it has ground up wood in it also. He does classes where he swabs the tuning pin hole with this stuff, lets it cure, drills, install pin. I bought some and tried it on my first re-string. I got so frustrated with the stuff that I ended up pulling the block and plugging. I didn't like it, but I'm sure some folks do. He does.
