[CAUT] Epoxy on board

[David Love]

I don't know if you intended this for me but I've been using System III
epoxy resin which is a low viscosity epoxy. You want it to penetrate some
into the wood or at least form a strong mechanical bond so it needs to go
over fresh wood.  There are other penetrating epoxy sealers that can be used
as well including those that are designed for rotting wood which are very
thin.  I've not used them but others do with apparent success.  Check Del's
article in the journal, though I don't recall the month and year it was
published.

Hi David,
When you put epoxy on old boards, is this on top of fresh (non- 
finished) wood? Also, do you have a preference for epoxy brand/type?
Thanks for any input.
