When using CA to treat a pinblock, you shouldn't use the accelerator at all. The whole point is to get the CA as deeply into the pin as possible. When you use accelerator you stop the process dead in its track. Big No-No.

Why should I use CA accelerator on a pin block or in any other piano related CA application?
