An even better approach may be gluing a thin layer of trespa to the board; I've heard some say it's the best material, superceeding ebony and epoxy coatings. Trespa is made of layers of a cardboard-like material, bonded with heat/pressure into a very hard material. It can be processed/sanded. Only the phenylic filled, pressure treated/compressed wood used by Zon basses should be better. I haven't tried it myself, but have an urge, so some sunny day.. ;) BTW, if having problems gluing on (still oil filled) fretboards, try contacting Gorilla Glue; I've heard they have a product which should bond well to oily surfaces. /van Toby Graves wrote: > The epoxy didn't seem to want to stick to the surface of the fretboard > when I've tried it.
