Pinblock Repair

[Will Wickham]

Hi Clark.

I did use Webb's product on a grand a few years ago with great  
success so far. I removed the action and masked the keybed then put  
the stuff in with a small dowel, trying to work it into any voids in  
the plank. After allowing it to dry overnight I ran a drill through  
each hole then pinned and strung in the usual manner. To date the  
pins are just as tight now as they were when I first did the repair.  
I didn't have any that were as loose as what you're dealing with, but  
based on my previous experience I'd give it a try. If it doesn't work  
you can still drill out the hole and use plugs.
