Has anybody used this stuff? What do you think of it?

I have used it on three so far. Love it.

Two were filled as clear and one was tinted black using trans-tint dye.

I have. I'm still learning how to use it. On a peghead sealed first with a wash coat it worked just fine -- I used it clear and with a stain. I plan to continue fiddling with it, but I also just got a supply of z-poxy that I am going to try next.

This is a pic of where it I definitely have a use for it (sorry for quality).

I have switched to it from System 3 SB-112 epoxy. So much quicker and easier to use and clean up is nothing compared to the epoxy. I use a coat of sanding sealer before applying it. I have found 3 coats works best. I dries very fast and I can do the coats in a hour or so, that includes the application and sanding back.

Thanks folks. It sounds as though it's worth trying. I'll report back.
