This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Les, List, I don't know if this was mentioned but past Journal articles have shown pictures of pinblocks that were doped with different solutions (not CA glue) and it shows how the solutions generally don't penetrate through the pinblock and have a tendency to destroy the upper one or two laminates. Sometimes within a couple years. The correct way (according to the article) to use Garfield type products is to "remove about every 15th pin and fill the holes several times until it is saturated". Before CA glue I did this and it does work. Of course, it takes time, you risk breaking strings, etc. etc. but IMO the superficial doping of a pinblock is not good at all. In cases where it did work probably you could have spat on it and it would have done about the same. (Just joking. No comments on the dangers of saliva, please.) CA glue, as stated in several posts, is far better, and doesn't seem to destroy the block over time.

I neither took my hearing aids nor my Computer for TuneLab, so ended up pretty much struggling with the tuning, but did no pinblock work whatsoever. But thanks for opinons. I'll certainly keep them for future use, which WILL come about one of these days. thanks les bartlett << File: ATT116372.txt >>=20 ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
