RE: Epoxy and waxes as a finish (in reply to chinito)

I used Z-Poxy on the top of my last guitar. I thinks it's for model airplanes or something. There are several types, I bought the "finishing resin" if I remember correctly. I too was very hesitant/nervous to spread epoxy all over my guitar. But it went surprisingly well. I just spread it out with a credit card, let it dry, sand, and do again a few times. I did get nervous at the end as there were shiny spots where it filled some low spots that must have been dings or depressions that I missed when sanding the bare wood. I was scared they'd show through the shellac. They didn't though, and it looks great. That being said, I only put this on my top because I cracked it in half while building and the glue up didn't go to well (had to do it twice actually), so I had to fill my valley along the crack line. I didn't get a new top as I'm learning to build. If I cracked my top, so be it, I'll just call it "antiqued." Anyways, I don't know if I'll do it on the top of my next one, but as a pore filler for the backs and sides, I think I most certainly will. It really was easy and it made the finish look great.
