I’m hoping to do another one soon This heart is lost for a long time now. I miss it. Got to grinding on a heart but had to stop for pizza. Good night Irene! That is a stunning heart Evan!

Three pages of debate and not one cab. That has to be a record. Procrastination at its best.

MsAli - Dang Ali, that's very disappointing. Do you think that cab could be saved by trying to stabilize it...or is it worth it?

Blue binghamite isn't easy to come by so it is still worth finishing and keeping I was wondering if applying a coat of that Art Resin to the completed cab (it would have to be reworked then) would "save" it, or if that would just make it look like a pitted cab with shellac on it...

From my experience with the stuff it would help it 100%.

I didn’t want to do the broken record thing 😂 Seriously though, I'm curious about what Art Resin can and can't do. I thought Paul was talking about using the resin "prior" to working a slab...so I didn't know about applying it to a finished cab like Ali's and what affects it would have...

The art resin is an option, but the pits aren't that bad. A drop of super glue to fill them in may be all that's needed 🤞

Paul says it can be added a second time after preform and initial dome is done
