Greetings,
Just my 2cents: You asked about "compressed captured air" I think
the block is going to absorb humidity no matter what you do, so when the
block dries in the winter when the heat is on the "steam" however minute, has no
where to go so I guess it attacks the botom of the pin over time.

Hey Joe -
Different David here. So, I know this is probably very stupid,
but. If this method really seals the air out, how does the block
handle all that compressed air captured with each installed pin? I
wonder if it changes the resonance characteristics of the block.
