<p>[QUOTE="Chinoiserie, post: 10385308, member: 79460"]Looks like epoxy or some kind of filler. Looks like a nail mark in the side. Not sure if that has been done after it has 'set' or during the setting process to test the hardness. If it is epoxy it can be softened with hot water, but it is still quite tough in this state and might cause more damage paring it off if you are not careful. What lies underneath could be a Pandora's box too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is the asking price a lot? Id only be tempted if it was next to nothing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
