Your opinion on use of Pin driving fluid...was...snappy tuning pins

Joe,

A question. If you were in a position of having to restring without a new
pin block, would you still use it? If so,
is there anything else you would do before restringing? Just a rhetorical
question, of course! :-)

  Brad asked: "Would you use pin driving fluid, or spar varnish on every job
with new block
  and stringing?
  What about Bolduc block, drilled with cobalt .257 bit (as recommended by
  Pianotek).

  Does every new block require pin driving fluid?"
  Thanks

  Brad,
  I was taught to use the stuff, by Del. However, I don't think he espouses
it's use, today. (correct me, if I'm wrong, Del.<G>)
  There are many Rebuilders that do not use it, and get good results. IMO,
it makes the pin block a bit more forgiving of drilling/density differences.
SO....I strongly urge the use of Pin Driving Fluid. I've tried NOT using it
and was not satisfied with the results. YMMV.
