Dale,

I think you are on the right track, mostly.  I don't see any reason not to use CA in this manner.  If you later decide the piano needs new strings, give it a new block.  No biggie.  CA is often used as a stop-gap until the piano is restrung - at which point it gets a new block as a matter of course.  $100 (or whatever) to make it usable until the piano gets a new block/strings is pretty cheap.

I don't give warranties on CA either.

   Although I've never CA"D a block.  You all have convinced me of it's effective nature but I'm with David on this one.  The block is compromised. NO warranty implied.
     Also if you treat a block in this manner & Later decide it needs strings , is this treated/doped block a worthy candidate or does this not render a potentially restring able block  un useable  and, again un warrantable?  Just asking.
    Dale
    Yes I have.  The question was not whether it is an effective treatment, it was whether you would offer a guarantee.  I would not.  If you have to CA the pinblock the block is compromised.  I’m not saying it doesn’t work but I wouldn’t offer a guarantee.  What if the block fails after your application?  While your application would not have caused that you might be held responsible for replacing the block if you offer a “guarantee”.
