Using epoxy in pinblocks (in various ways) seems to have had it's major use ~ 30 years ago, at least on the Left Coast. Off and on, I've followed a number of pianos so treated, and really cannot remember a single one that did not have various problems with jumping, snapping, bending, etc....the real cherry on the whipped cream was the one I was called in on that had a number of broken pins....(yes, it got a new block...). That being said, all that was a while ago, and I am sure that there are better products and better information as to how to use them available now. Best.
