re-stringing and CA

[Michael Gamble]

Yes, Ed, but taking things to their logical conclusion there has to be a 
limit on how large a size you can use. I started this thread with the view 
of getting ideas from y'all on the use of CA in conjunction with "same size" 
pins. :-)
As a by-product of this thread, someone on the List said (some while back) 
that to use CA on a block which had already had been doped gave even greater 
torque than in a block which had not been doped....?
