It wouldn't even stay together to sand down - once I got through the inner shell it just crumbled away. On the next run I used the Easycast Epoxy resin on the shelves at AC Moore and that worked out much better. Here's a shot of a completed fret marker using the Eastcast and some crushed beach shells. The only downside with this stuff is a different feel from the wood - when sliding a finger across it feels like it almost sticks to the resin for a second before sliding on. Really isn't a big deal when playing (I think anyway).  The best product I've found to use is still InLace from Turtlefeathers - feels just right - but it's tricky to measure out. Just a drop or two of the catalyst per ounce of resin.
