Basically the instructions were these: Remove the action and place towels on the keybed. Using a fine tip, pour the red label (the water thin viscosity) CA glue in at the base until the pinblock won't accept any more. In other words, use a lot! He sells larger bottles designed for this purpose, I forget how many ounces they are. You use pretty much use all of the bottle on one pinblock. Oh yes--NEVER use accelerator when treating pinblocks because it will immediately harden and clog the capillaries of the wood keeping it from accepting any more glue. And then, tune...

All I know is that some of these contain(ed?) glycerine, which attracts moisture from the air, but also encourages decay, I believe. If that is the case any longer, I do not know.
Please describe Dryburg's suggestions. I am curious to know whether his techniques differ from mine.
Peace,
