LowMoFo Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Hi all, A quick & probably naive question please: I’m experimenting with a (dead) neck, and am wondering how flexible epoxy resin is. Obviously, strings would be off for coating, but when the neck is strung & tuned, the neck will move. Will the resin move with it, or is there a risk of separation? This query also applies to truss-rod adjustment. Or would super glue be better…? Over to you legends please, I thank you! 🤘 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMoon Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I have several fretless basses with coated fingerboards. These may be polyester (Pedulla) and others where I believe polyurethane is the coating. In each case I have had no problems with separation even with periodic truss rod adjustments. I cannot speak from experience of super-glue (cyanoacrylate), but I would think that also to be pretty stable when coated correctly. In summary, I wouldn’t worry and go for the material that best suits your needs and budget. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
