  1. 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
  2. try gunstock Oil, just wipe on ....8-10 coats or more first have a base sealer of 1 lb shellac (2 coats)
  3. I have drilled a 3/4 X 1/8 inch hole in my maple headstock: filled with black epoxy and placed an abalone inlay in the epoxy let dry for 24 hours sanded and the results were maple dust from the headstock incorporated in the back epoxy from sanding How do I avoid this problem. If someone would like a picture I can send via e-mail I don't know how to add image on this site. thanks Jay
