       I've used Garfields a number of times with great success. The only 
time I was disappointed with the results was an old upright that was too far 
gone and I shouldn't have tried it in the first place. (I was looking for a 
miracle, I guess.)
       I use CA most of the time now, mainly because it is a faster fix. But 
for a situation where a new pinblock is out of the question, Garfields will 
revitalize many that are old and dried out. 
       I ran into that mushy feeling once after using Garfields, but the 
pinblock had been treated with the other dark, goopy stuff some years prior 
to that, and I warned the customer in advance that the pinblock might be done 
for. After using the Garfields, the pins did hold OK, they just felt funny 
while tuning.
