No but I'm all ears. What does this combination do?
Turn into some sort of plastic composite? I'm intrigued.
(And Ray, the amp is effin great..........and bloody loud)

I tried it recently after reading about it on these forums and it seems to work well. It accelarates the drying time and also acts a filler. Only problem is that it ends up as a white blob of solid fill. Ok if it cant be seen but not much good if visible.

It doesnt need to be baking soda. ANY dust will work, including bone dust, graphite, tusq, etc etc.

tried it and worked a treat
i cut a slot slightly too deep and just dropped some baking soda in the slot a dab of liquid ca and it went like off very hard in a few seconds
filed the slot back a bit, polished with 800 grit and it fixed the problem
as perry says i you could use anything, but the ca and baking soda kind of reacts and goes off really quick - you prolly have to wait a bit for other material to go off - like Sir Stinkalot says it is white and needs a little touch up with some back paint or texta - the nut is black CF - if it was bone or tusq it might need a little more fiddle to cover it up
it tricky dobbing a tiny bit of CA in that slot without getting it everywhereray c

ebony sanding dust and CA is great for filling and hiding cracks/splits/tearout in a DB fingerboard, too.

Works fine, I've used it on a bone nut.
Wouldn't use it on a nut that wasn't made of bone, ivory, or tusq tho. The colours wouldn't match and it'd look amatuerish.
