Hello Tony, I just completed an FG-75 reset and hit the pocket right at the 15th fret. I used heat (and it eventually worked), however I’m sure Dave would advise that steam and water is more effective than dry heat with the historically famous “Yamaha glue” used in the early 70’s)!

Yes agreed… great to have Dave as a part of the Looth Group! Dave, your research, experience, knowledge around Yamaha’s is simply awesome and irreplaceable… “thank you”. Your website and our communications over the years have been so helpful! #VintageYamaha #FGYamaha #YamahaDave

Randy, I have used Zpoxy as pore filler before French polish in this example using Machiche for back and sides and it had very large pores. The Zpoxy worked very well. Initially I used pumice on a previous build and it was David Wren who advised me he had moved away from pumice and started using Zpoxy to pore fill in advance of French polish and encouraged me to try it. I found it worked well. After sanding it back, the initial French polish coats (sealer coats) were done with 1 lb bench cut (about a 6-1 ratio for 2-3 sessions), and then I moved to a 2lb cut (3-1 ratio) for the body coats.
Hope this helps
