Is there a DVD of this course we can buy? I am under the impression it's too late to take the course so now I'm curious.

This course has been going on for 3 weeks now and we still have two weeks to go. I am recording the classes and they are available for viewing to registered students only. However, in my finishing DVD I show this FP method but of course it is not as in depth as the online class. The DVD is available here: http://www.apprenticepublishing.com

I'm confused as to why you all aren't using pumice to pore fill or trying the egg whites pore fill and why you all like to use that epoxy. Is the health risk of using epoxy compared to a finish on a guitar really worth it? I mean here you are talking about it not being toxic using Everclear as opposed to denatured alcohol and you use Epoxy. I just don't get it. One of the reasons I'm interested in FP is to get away from the fumes of Nitro. Don't take this as negitive as it's just a question. I wish I could have taken the course but being laid off makes the course out of my reach.
Edit: I see you all posted as I was writing. I'll check out the DVD as I might be able to work that into the budget.

Chris,

In the course, as well as in my Finishing DVD, I cover many different types of pore filling methods and products. I give my students the option of using whichever one they feel comfortable with and prefer and get the best results with. For some, that just happened to be epoxy. Under my FP finishes I prefer a water based or oil based pore filler.

I ordered your DVD Robbie. Now I'm in wait mode and hoping it will be here by the time I finish making my bridge and toning my ribrest black.

Thank you Brock. I am not planning on offering this online class again until perhaps Fall semester. Maybe around October or November. I will keep everyone posted.
