Fretless Fingerboard Finish...

[ZenAndZen]

I have an old fretless with a worn fretboard & looked around at some Bass forums seeking some ideas about how to proceed.

I did not go in deep with the research but I did read one brief story where a guy swears by "marine Grade Clear Epoxy Resin" - he said the type used on boat decks so you can still see the deck's grain but gives a very tough finish.

Unfortunately that's all I gleaned from that article (years ago now) so brand or availability & cost will require more searching.

My bass has an 'ebanol'(read plastic) fingerboard so I may just leave it as is.

You could probably get away with just sanding and polishing it.....
