Seeking - 'Epoxying a fretless neck' 101

[msteeln]

I plan on getting a fretless bass asap, and if it seems like it would benefit greatly from an epoxy or polyester application, I'll go for it.
Doesn't seem like there is anyone around my neck of the woods that is experienced at it, and those in the mainland are X $, years worth of waiting, and I'm not into shipping, so it may fall into my hands

Anybody here have real experience with this, or suggestions who can do it without busting my wallet?
I want it to mirror a pro job.

Here's an example of the best - www.woodwiz.com/epoxy/pictures.html

I know this has been discussed several times on the TalkBass forums (http://www.talkbass.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=45), although all the conversations I've read have been with somebody else doing it. It looks really slick (literally and figuratively) when it is done well. Please keep us updated on the progress of this project!

I'm on there too--same handle.

I got a chance to play a toofless bass while on vacation last spring. It was kind of a cool experience, but it definitely would take some getting used to. I'm happy with my toofed Spector.
