Epoxy Pore Filling

For those of you who fill with epoxy. Do you pore fill the top of the guitar with it?

The reason that I'm asking is that I'm going to try a UV cure pore filler and was wondering. Up until now I've always use a thinned version of the final finish and sanded back.

Thanks,

Eric

I do not pore fill the top mainly because spruce, cedar and red wood do not need to be pored filled. I suppose if I had a Koa top I might pore fill.

Ditto what John said

But please explain -- how are you going to "try" a UV pore filler. A UV application and cure system is a big deal, is there something new on the market?

Solarez makes an UV cure system that cures under a UY flashlight or sunlight
