Hello all, Ive recently made some pretty horrific router mistakes on my project (realized that I had routed the wrong area). This is my first build so its a learning experience but I was wondering if I could fill these up with epoxy? My biggest concern is that using epoxy to fill routed out material will damage the sound quality. Also, these were just wire channels, not like a full pickup cavity or anything. I will be gluing a piece of wood over this area when the routing is finished so Im also wondering if I can maybe just leave it? -Alex

Easier to fill it with wood... epoxy isn't known for it's great tone.
