Do I Need Pumice?

Post by Diane Kauffmds »

When french polishing, is pumice used only for pore filling? My guitar is cherry, so it doesn't require pore filling. Do I need to use pumice?

No, there is no need for pumice beyond pore filling. And there are many ways to pore fill under FP that don't involve pumice.
You never know what you are capable of until you actually try....
