i realise this is an old thread but i got questions. i want to defret my bass for using roundwounds on it, i want to defret my MAIN bass, even tho it's only like £300 but i got dimarzio ultra jazz in it and it's been with me for a lot of gigs so i want to get this right. Questions are :

Is there an epoxy i could use that sets slow enough but is good for getting a level finish? i'm in the uk so brand names would be great ,my mates have said that with a lot of epoxy's they don't always set rock solid due to bad mixing so something 100% would be good.

And how hard is epoxy? will it last forever or is there a risk ov grovves and the need to re-epoxy the fretboard??

Finally how can i test that the epoxy/laqeur/polyeurothane is level once it's on? this is obviously the vital part in the process so lumps and bumps would be ****.

Thanx for any advice posted.
