stingray…does the bridge have mutes? If so check the screws/springs on that hardware. Maybe coming from the tuner? Not wound with enough break angle? Chasing a buzz can be very frustrating, and some guitars just buzz and the action needs to be higher.

There is a law, but I’m not sure it helps you.
Do you have the budget for an extra seat?

I’m nearing completion on restoring a 1920’s wood-body resonator for a friend who is a plane flight away. I’ll be flying to visit them next month, and am considering flying with the guitar, rather than shipping with UPS/Fedex.
I’m a little nervous about this, because I don’t have a flight case, and it possibly won’t survive the baggage handlers…

I’m with you. Dewaxed for the win.
I know that some folks like to make their own from button lac, but in each case, dewaxing is part of the process.
I learned French Polishing in furniture school many years ago, and we always made ours with dewaxed blond flakes.

Reply to Suitable epoxy for carbon fiber rods -- can't get the usually recommended names
if the fit is tight, I wouldn’t worry too much about the filler. The filler could make it a bit harder to install the tubes, depending on how tight the fit is. My fav shop epoxy for this sort of stuff is West G Flex gel. I think total boat has an equivalent.
If you are only using it to glue the tubes in, I would probably feel fine with…

Ya, It buzzed before, why it was brought in. I’ve basically set the thing up about literally 50 times…..I put it on me and went from dead straight and went all the way to radical relief in 16th turn increments and always came back to it sounding best with least amount of noise where it is currently, which is in the ballpark for set ups on…
