Thanks Tod, great videos, I need to get myself a squeegee it seems to work better than a credit card at leveling the epoxy. what do you spread the epoxy on the neck with.

Todd,

Thanks so much for doing the video. This will help greatly on my current build. I'm looking forward to part III.

Good stuff Todd. Very measured & deliberate technique (I remember being much more frazzled doing mine, all archtops, but I must admit the flat back seems to go a lot easier.) It also seemed to set up a lot quicker than the 15 min working time you are getting.....may things were too warm!
Looking forward to the neck, which I found hardest.
(BTW #1 was a 3 hr. download on dial up, but worth it)

Sincere thanks for taking the time to do this Todd. Up until this time I have been struggling with a single edge razor blade and much subsequent sanding. Your technique is a vast improvement from what I have been doing and I'm really looking forward to trying it on my next build.

Thanks for that Todd! Nothing prettier than nice wood coming to life under finish...... well maybe not nothing prettier, but it's nice.

Looking forward to the next ones.

Cheers,
Danny

I'm glad to see someone say 'do it 3 times', not 'you may need 3 times'. I had always suspected as much.

Nice work Todd, thanks for posting.

Are you near Green Ridge State Forest? I do some grouse hunting out there occassionally, it's a great part of the state!
