I've been doping pin blocks for years and have never had a problem with it rotting the pin block. Recently I was told that after doping it is only a matter of time until the pin block will rot. I have never seen this to be true. I have had good results with quick-set, and the manufacturers claim that it causes no rotting to wood. My first choice is to punch the pins, but there is not always time to do this. (For example when preparing for a concert.) Should I stop doping? Any comments? Suggestions? Experiences with rotting pin blocks?
