clear filling knot holes

[Dave Black]

I scraped and sanded down the epoxy then sprayed lacquer on the table today. Except for some bubbles in the epoxy it worked really well. If there is another time I need to do this I think I will either try finding a thinner viscosity epoxy or mixing it up then putting it in a vacuum to pull the bubbles out before filling the knots.

I've used a touch of denatured alcohol to lower the viscosity of Borg epoxy with good results. I'd only do it for cosmetic fixes though, not structural ones, since I don't know how thinning it affects the strength.

good to know

If your use T 7 epoxy I don't see how you would get bubbles.

Im with the others in using West System. Ill also add a bit of Trans Tint or powdered dye to try and match any surrounding knots. If the knots or voids are small I will use Behlen's burn in sticks and try to match the finished stain so they blend out or again match the surrounding knots.
