I hope you don't think I was questioning your expertise or choice of materials. I am ignorant of these materials and genuinely curious. When I mention my apprenticeship, it was in a washing machine factory, so not much use for this type of thing. I was glossing some skirting boards a couple of weeks ago wishing there was a wood and resin based material alternative that never needed painting. I wonder... 😀

I had a bass some years ago with an Ebonol fingerboard which I think was phenolic based. Richlite, from the pics looks like it has more texture to it though, just like wood. I remember, from my apprenticeship a thousand years ago, a material called Tufnol which was, I think a paper filled phenolic. Richlite looks like a step up from these though.

Just a thought but if Richlite is difficult to glue, what is used to stick the fingerboard to the neck?
