Great tutorial, but what about necks? Any tips? I'm about ready to try Zpoxy filling on a neck for the first time.

I've now filled one acoustic and two electrics with Zpoxy. I chickened out and used paste filler on the acoustic neck, mostly because I'm familiar with it, but also because I've read through the threads concerning the problem with amine blush. I'll probably sand back to the wood, which I assume will reduce the potential problem.

I'm sold on the idea of a squeegee with a handle after viewing the video. Otherwise, I had used almost identical technique, but with one of those disposable yellow squeegee things meant for layup. It's really messy.

I am an engineer with a serious running habit. No tender meat on my bones. Stew it is.
