Material to build up neck pocket?

[Argh!]

Hi...first post....

I couldn't find an answer to this...(may be blind)...

I'm building a partscaster. Unfortunately the neck transplant recipient body has some issues with the neck pocket. 1) the holes are in the wrong place (I'll drill them and glue in a dowel and redrill), 2) the neck pocket is too 3/16 too deep (13/16 vs 5/8)

Does anyone have any ideas on an approach to fixing this (building up the neck pocket)? I assume I will have to get a nice 3/16 of hardwood, glue it in, and drill it..

Anyone have some experience with this?

I've used these before. I used two 0.5 degree ones back to back, to make a flat surface. but the 1 degree ones might be good for your problem.
Or even veneers layered to the right thickness would work.

Yep. This is the easiest and most effective way to go, especially if you're already plugging and re-drilling the neck bolt holes.

Thanks!

I'll circle back with how I fix it....
