Ive seen the youtube guys do it, and been tempted too. I think I'd try it out on a blank stock first though ... or at least a lump of wood from bunnings lol

Same philosophy as always mate. Give it a go on something small and unimportant first ;)

A mate and I did it on an old guitar body ages ago.

A practice run is definitely in order, we wrecked the first go but good :lol:

Sanded it back, started again and did much better the second time around.

Just took a bit of practice pitting it in slowly enough to apply it right.
