Hi, I would also like to hear some opinions and ideas on this subject. I have used marine spar varnish with good results.The last few fretlesses I built, I used DELTRON clear polyurethane, because I wanted absolute water clear. They had pink ivory and purpleheart fingerboards, and I didn't want to dull or color them in any way. It has a great feel(very slick), but I'm afraid it may scatch a bit easier than I would like. I have never found anything totally "scatch proof" If round wound strings are used.
: All right,
: I need some help with applying the epoxy to
: my fretboard. First of all, which is a good
: epoxy to go with? Any specific brands? I'm
: just looking for the cheapest that will
: work, as the bass I'm using is an
: inexpensive Squire since this is my first
: try. Next, how should I go about applying
: it? I'm familiar with the use of epoxies and
: such, as I worked at a boat repair marine
: where we used mainly fiberglass, resin and
: epoxy to repair damage. Any type of brush or
: sponge that would work best? How many coats?
: Any other tips? I'm just looking to finish
: this off, got the frets out and the wood
: filler in. Thank you!
