I make up the blocks one or two at a time, for whatever is in the shop that will need one, and they sit around for a month or three until they get installed. No special treatment. If they needed special treatment, I'd be using something different that didn't. I use the same 6.8mm bit I've used for years. I've (second pass) drilled dozens of blocks with it, both Delignit, and in recent years the composite, with good results. Ron N
