5minute epoxy aint so bad if you remember to thin it first with acetone. I know some will be horrified at that idea. But you ought to try it once. It really does work quite well in a pinch and you don't have the build up problem on the guides. It gives you enough time to put it in the dryer and for it to level before it dries.

I think 5 minute epoxy and dirty fingers could open up a whole new look for finish. i know a lot of mine loook like I use that same technique! haha

Rod looks good Terry! I like the butt and the colors yoou used....cant wait to see it!
