I don't. Some do. There's no "standard" as such. In your case I wouldn't because I wouldn't want poly in the pin holes. I also don't use a pin driving fluid as some others do, and I'm not sure to what degree polyurethane would effect the final result or longevity of the pinning job.<div> <br></div><div><br></div><div>William R.

I've only repinned one so far and i didn't refinish that one. But the upright i'm about to repin I sanded down to a nice look, and I'm thinking it might be best to polyurethane it. if I let some poly drip into the holes, it might effect pin torque, but then again it might not. i could poly it after I repin it as well. I really don't know the standard procedure (obviously.) <br> <br><br> </blockquote></div><br><br> </div>
