My dad was strong on Garfields for just about any block situation when the 
block wasn't getting replaced. Including using a thinner solution (80/20 
w/alcohol) for driving fluid. Always had good results for us. On a new 
block, a more traditional varnish or rosin might be better, but I honestly 
couldn't tell you. I stick with what works, sometimes.
