Hey Dom, love that jig,I'll have to steal that idea..Here's a site with a rundown on a fridge pump as the vacuum source...... http://www.dream-models.com/eco/vacuumpump.htmll Made one like this from air conditioner pump and it's very quiet also if you use the air conditioner pump it's easier to take...

Hi Taff and all youse other persons...

No worries Craig,I have a Silky Oak fretboard that I was thinking of flooding with superglue also and it wasn't till I saw your post that it clicked that the shellac might work.Oh well back to the superglue idea..cheers Steve

Craig have you thought of using Ubeaut's Hard Shellac,I've used it on a Strat type body about 12 months ago and it hasn't crazed at all(Neil had a problem with crazing I think).Might need to thin it down a bit to get some depth.......cheers Steve
