I have started to pore fill with zpoxy. The pictures are with the guitar just after I applied my second coat and the neck after 1 coat.

Is that a shower squeegee I see there? What do you use to clean off the epoxy without melting the plastic and rubber?

I use denatured alcohol before the epoxy cures. The alcohol wipes the zpoxy right off.
