Since you are not molding this may all be mute, but a coat of wax where you don't want epoxy to stick is a simple precaution.

Victor-Having checked out your beautiful smiling, full-hollow, rattler-spined blades (right in my wheelhouse if I had the cash, by the way!), your technical expertise is obviously beyond my questioning, but let me ask you this? As I'm not doing a mold per se, what about RezDog/Shaun's idea of taping the back (and shaving off the excess flush with the scales obviously)? Seems like I've seen other guys doing it on other sites. One versus the other?

I am currently making a dedicated epoxy/finishing box, and just want to be prepared when my FlexCoat comes in. Thanks-Aaron
