I never doped a pinblock before. If upon inspection the pins are loose, should I dope. Is this an unwise move? <BR><BR>             I hear  that doping only lasts for one tuning and then the obvious is inevitable, which I hear is a re-pin job. How loose must pins be to sanction a re-pinning?<BR><BR>Thanx,<BR>Julie <BR>   </FONT></FONT></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
