Epoxy used in this is Z-Poxy PT-40 (a self leveling finishing epoxy).
I've heard from some luthiers they got shrink back of the Z-poxy pore filler after buffing, then those luthiers tried WEST systems and got no shrink back.
I've also heard from other luthiers that they got shrink back after using WEST system......
So, aim for minimal heat when buffing with any pore fill.
Also, I pretty sure the pin holes above the pores were caused by leaving the epoxy too thick on the first coat. It's caused by opposing surface tensions of the wood and epoxy on the first coat.
