Hey all
I'm currently in the planning stages of my next project. The basic concept is a wooden class for a small stereo amplifer that will have a small aluminium inlay into the front tas oak face. My conundrum is I plan to finish it with a clear estopol finish but am unsure how the aluminium will take to this. I'm worried that the slight movements in the wood as a apposed to the stability of the aluminium will result in the estopol finish cracking or failing to adhere to the aluminium? Is there any basis to this concern? What are my other options inregards to finishing? Any and all advice is very much appreciated.
