Fretless neck coating

[Jeff29361]

Just bought this jazz bass, someone has defretted it, fancy trying to clean it up and epoxy the fingerboard, are there any guides on here, I've searched but can't find anything

Maple is a hard surface in itself, the one little thing I don't like about Jaco's tone, was the slight clack you get fretting an epoxied board. I would leave it as is, clean it up and give it a playing first.
