Placing & Epoxying Weights Prior to Turning

Just wanted to share a tip I sometimes employ to help create perfectly-level epoxy fill in belly weight holes.

For some patterns I place the belly weights in the blank prior to turning. I use thinned epoxy to fill these holes, as it penetrates well and is relatively bubble-free.

Once cured, I cut/sand the blank and I'm left with perfectly-level epoxied holes. This can help with the fill/sand process if you like everything flush before priming.
