Super Glue Fingerboard Coating?

[Wade10987]

I figure the harder the surface the easier to get it smooth. CA will be harder. Did you check that video above? It looks very easy and not very messy.

Yes I watched the video 96tbird. Thanks. I might actually go this route...

(get it, route...)

OK, first of all I really appreciate ya'll's input. The reason I asked about this CA finish is because I happened to have it on hand. Epoxy is less than 5 dollars, so I gotta ask...what are the pros and cons of each? Which is one is easier, faster, more durable, etc.

That kind of epoxy isn't good as a finish. A good epoxy finish like System 3 mirror coat isn't cheap. The one time I used Epoxy as a finish it was a major pain and I probably wont use it again.

Mirror coat does make for a nice finish though, I used it on this fingerboard on a fretless 5 string I built.

The down side is its messy, it gets everywhere you don't want it to, and takes pretty much overnight to set up. It also doesn't sand very well. My next fretless boards will be finished in CA. The Epoxy wasn't worth the trouble.
