I have used up to 8 ounces on an old upright, 20 ounces on an 8' Bechstein with a split in the pinblock big enough to poke a pencil into ( We all watched "Titanic" and poured more in the crack every 1/2 hour ). I have had excellent results on all of these, and have never had apin so tight that it sheared off. But I have seen the stuff well up around the plate screws and fill the slots, which makes me wonder about dismantling one of these patients in the future, for rebuilding.
