    Andrew: I saw a photo of your guitars prior to epoxy filling. What type of masking material did you use; the frisket film? If so, the extra tack?

    Yep, I use the Grafix matte extra tack frisket, which is 0.001" thick. It's amazing stuff, and worked great for that purpose. I score around it with an exacto after the finish is all buffed out, and it peels right off, epoxy and all. To prevent get a bump at the edge it's best to just apply the epoxy over the whole bridge area, pretending it's not there.

    I'll give the Grafix frisket a go. Frisket - makes me think of brisket. Brisket would probably be a bit too greasy.

    Thanks!

    I thought I would post a follow up to this conversation. The Silvertip epoxy grain fill method worked well on this guitar. The owner has been playing it for over a year and the finish is holding up well. Here's some photos of the finished guitar with an Adirondack Spruce top. I'm finishing up a second L-00 all mahogany guitar with the same sunburst colors. The Trans-tint hand-rubbed dye, Silvertip epoxy grain fill, and Endiro-var top coat method is progressing well.
