It didn't do Sting any harm. Or Lemmy. Or Geddy, or Jack Bruce etc.
Sting is not really famous for his bass playing.....
Nor his singing ability LOL but then again he was pretty unique!Quote:

Posting a few pics it is actually shiny but tried not to get too much reflection in the pics, might have done that too well because almost looks like a matt finish in these:(
Hi everyone if anyone is interested in the technique of applying material to a guitar here is a link to a youtube video I have just finished
Cheers Carl

Think I might just use the casting resin for filling deep holes in rustic tops!Quote:

Due to the smooth finish on some parts of the void i was filling (a product of the NZ Matai) it actually pulled away a little as it would do with a plastic mould. It isn't really a game breaker, I've since wicked some CA into those wee gaps and then routed the acrylic block down to the depth I needed and there seems to have been no movement at all. it machines well, if somewhat messy and stinky and the finish it coming up well under sanding. I shall have to look for a project to use your method on now!
