No problem Ian — and thanks for being all over this forum.
It looks like I might be able (maybe) to get the TotalBoat kit linked below from a neighboring country to which I could drive. Am I correct in understanding that the filler is a must or is it optional given the tight fit of the carbon rods in their channel — ie, no gaps to fill? Thanks!

Oh, Im sorry for the reading comprehension gap. Do you have any links to the contenders ? One thing you can do is get what is available and run some tests. Could you get any of the West systems filler since it’s not a liquid ?

Thansk Ian — the problem is that I cannot find West Systems, Total Boat and other mainstream brands at all where I live (Bahrain) and can’t import them 😕.

And I Like the "Version 3" 'cause it is simply refining your idea, which Stewmac took further and refining using readily available items that any of us can pick up at the hardware store anywhere........ - View more comments

One thing you might look at is sticking with the west systems and adding a filler that promotes adhesion. https://www.westsystem.com/products/404-high-density/ . Also make sure to abrade everything.

Suitable epoxy for carbon fiber rods -- can't get the usually recommended names
Hello — I would like to make my first neck (Tele style) with carbon fiber rods. I always see West Systems, Total Boat, and a couple of other brands being recommended. I live somewhere that sells none of these, and forbids imports of liquids. I can find craft epoxy RESIN (I’m not sure if this is a substitute for epoxy GLUE) and may be able to…

Hello, I have a Martin Parlor in the shop for a repair. It is equipped with a Fishman Rare Earth soundhole pickup (NOT the blend version with the mic, just the simple magnetic pickup), that works well, but gives a sort of hissing trail on the lower notes. It’s a bit like a hissing shimmer reverb. I got it out by simply taping an aluminum bar…

I ordered some sections of 2ft length fret wire that were being closed out. I’m looking for a few empty tubes, with caps that allow you to hang them on the wall. Only need 2 or 3 if any of you guys have some extra laying around. Happy to pay for them and shipping costs. I appreciate you guys!
