Assistant destrung upright & kept one sample pin for me, #3. I tested a #5 on one note, felt really good. Happily stringing, everything feels great. Do about 20 unison's, nice even tight feel. suddenly the holes are bigger...allot bigger. I can push the #5 in and out with my fingers. Happens there was more then one size used when it was strung years ago....oops. assumptions strike again. Considering the following...... swab holes with West System epoxy, or with Webb Phillips Wood Rebuilder, put in undersize pins while filler cures....remove undersize pin and continue stringing. I know someone is going to say replace the block....not an option this time unless I eat it..$ So comments on these options appreciated. 1) Above procedure with West System epoxy. 2) Above procedure with same epoxy mixed with a little hard rock maple dust...have a can saved from grinding pinblocks. 3) Webb Philip's product....wood rebuilder. 4) plug it up and re-drill. 5) And yes, for those that may say, "eat it" do the block and learn your lesson. Go ahead, I own a custom fit flame suit.
