Appreciate the responses, guys.

I'm pore filling on a very contoured electric body surface. Any tricks on that?

I've made a number of test specimens with a similar complex surface just to try to get the hang of it before I commit to doing the guitar. I have a good handle on the squeegee technique for flat surfaces but there aren't very many of those on this guitar. So far the best technique has been to slather it on with a gloved finger and try to apply it as evenly and thinly as possible....then sand evenly using a pliable, yet firm foam block.

Lotta hand work on this...which is fine but if there's a technique I might try that saves time...my fingers will thank you.

The gloved finger is how a lot of people do necks, just be sure to not over do the amount of epoxy you start with. A little goes a long way and makes the leveling easier.
