Subject : Epoxy as a Grain Filler
Posted : 2006-01-08 8:52 PM
Post #32693
Using epoxy as a grain filler has been previously mentioned in this forum, but without details. I post this item to ask if someone with experience of using epoxy as a grain filler would give details of how they do it. Some specific questions are:

-What kind of epoxy; how fast/slow of a hardener do you use?
-Do you add anything to the expoy other than the 2 parts?
-What consistency is best for grain filling?
-What is the best technique for spreading the epoxy?
-Do you squeegee the excess away or leave a thick coat?
-How long does it usually take before sanding?

Thanks in advance for advice on this subject.

Warren,

West System, System 3, MAS, are all good epoxies. You want one that is not thick like peanut butter but more like honey. I don't add anything else, just the two parts. I pour it on, then squeegee it around, letting it soak in for a few minutes, then squeegee the excess off. I don't leave a thick coat. Wait overnight before sanding. With most epoxies you need to scrub with soap and water before sanding so your sand paper doesn't gum up.


Sincerely
Darryl Keil
