French polish over Z-poxy is fine. Colin |

Edit: I should have added, though I think we all know now, that the opposite is not true. Z-poxy does not adhere well to shellac. Colin |

Rich, All of my guitars are FP over Z-Poxy. It works fine and I have never had a problem. Best wishes, Max Bishop Brighton, Michigan |

Hey Max, do you sand back to all wood or leave a thin coat? Thanks! |

yes FP over Zpoxy is fine Write this down and post it on your bench some where Shellac over epoxy is a go!!! Epoxy over shellac is a no-no!!!  
I know! lots of info about here and keeping track is hard Just keep this in mind. Shellac will stick to darn near any thing. but epoxy can be selective. I know a few that have success with epoxy over shellac but they tooth the shellac. As I mentioned a couple weeks ago I did some practical testing and almost in all test samples I did epoxy over shellac, it was easy to peel epoxy off of a shellac under coat, but the other way (shellac over epoxy) I had no chance of peeling the shellac off the epoxy. |

Rob, Depends on the wood. I will sand back to wood leaving the pores filled in the case of a wood that I don't wish to darken - like the Cocobolo guitar I am working on now. With most light woods, such as Cypress or Maple, I will leave a layer of Z-Poxy to add some amber coloring. Max |
