thanks for the replys
The black epoxy I used was mixed with a compatible pigment from Tap palstic....
I used black in the maple headstock for a contrast to the maple
and also the abalone inlay...
My understanding also, is that all epoxy gives off gas bubbles when curing.
and that when you sand with an opposte wood color than the epoxy the dust goes right into the
bubbles .
I liked the idea of usin clear epoxy , I'l have to experiment to see how that would look
on maple with an abalone inlay..
Thanks
