epoxy and finishes
 

Hi all

Building a rustic Kitchen table out of recycled pine floorboards and i
want to fill the old nail holes, knot holes etc with 2 part epoxy, how
will a limeing agent finish go covering the epoxy. will it take ok or
tend to flake off ? (missus just wanted to paint it white, but i want
the grain showing thru)

also have a few chips and missing splinters that i was going to use
epoxy and sawdust to fill .... is that ok as well, tried it out on a
scrap piece and it made a invisible repair to a large indentation, but
concerned about how well a finish will take. wondering if it will stand
out more if the finish doesn't take to the epoxy.

cheers

@#@ Epoxy does not take any type of stain etc. The stain has to be mixed
into the mixture and of course be compatible. There are some good
informational sites like, West and other epoxy manufacturer,s.
