Heya guys & gals,
Hope all is well in the world workshop :o)
So, to the problem. Seems like one of the main side affects of building CBGs (apart from spending too long in the shed - ask my missus, she'll tell you) is that you're always trying to up your game, maybe do something that you aint seen no-one else do yet.
With this in mind, I found some really cool little plastic music notes - the plan being to set them in clear hard resin and use them as fret markers, so each marker had a little note in the middle.
Trouble is, I cant find anything suitable to set them in. Iv tried clear epoxy resin, hot glue etc - no luck. I cant find anything that gives a smooth clear finish - everything I tried needs sanding back flush to the fretboard, and when I sand it, it goes opaque = no notes!! That or it sets full of air bubbles, even the quick set stuff.
Anyone done this sort of thing before or got any ideas what I could try?
I found something called Water Clear Casting Resin but dont have any experience with it, and I dont really want to buy 5 litres of it if its useless!
Id love to get this to work - wouldnt it be cool to have the markers themed in each build?
