I'm building 2 guitars using Ziricote. It's by far the most crack prone wood I've used. I have the boxes together now and am wondering if flooding the Ziricote with CA would stabilize the wood, then follow that up with Zpoxy and regular finish schedule.

Though CA adheres to epoxy, the epoxy doesn't adhere so well to the CA. If you are going to do that make sure you sand back to bare wood before pore filling. Better yet just use CA to pore fill.
