Using Epoxy

[walnutjerry]

I have been turning a lot of spalted maple in the past year and some of the material was riddled with worm holes, tunnels or however you wish to label it. I have used the 5 minute epoxy from Lowes to dye and fill the voids. As many as I have I need to find a more economical source for epoxy. Someone with more experience with using epoxy may point me in the right direction. Would prefer a quick setting material that has a long shelf life before mixing. Any guidance is appreciated.

While I don't go through epoxy like you do, this is what I usually get. Remember glue is eligible for the NCWW discount.

I work with similar material and have found that this 5 minute epoxy https://amzn.to/3h6z4xz gives me good clarity and is affordable. I have tried others but they had a "murky" look.
