Strange, I remember this post quoting Tom Monahan of General Finishes saying the exact opposite.

Me and a few others had no problems with Z poxy and west systems.

The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.

Ain't that something! I'll contact John Greven but I think he's been using epoxy filler all along. I believe the issue of witness lines when cutting down to bare wood (removing the pore filler film) is problematic with just about any coating even nitro lacquer. I am only doing friends and family builds these days so I plan to continue on with Zpoxy -- I did primitive mechanical bond tests with tape and the Enduro does does not budge.

Funny, that was a conversation that I had with them a while back. I had buffed through the Endurovar and hit the Z-Poxy. I followed the guidance given here in the OLF and the guitar turned out great. I just scuff sanded the back and shot the whole thing with 5 more coats, leveled and then buffed.

Yep. I'm shooting satin EnduroVar on the neck now per the suggestion where I was asking what to use on a neck (I was looking at truoil and Liberon). I settled on the Satin Endurovar. It's curing now.
