---------------------- multipart/mixed attachment Hi Terry, >Nothing got it where? The epoxy didn't penetrate into > the wood? For what duration was the epoxy "light >'highly' penetrating"? I was replenishing it on the surface for about 4 hours. It was evaporating instead of going into the wood. If I had submerged it in, the end grain would have soaked it up. > What kind of wood? > Terry Farrell I found the lightest, most porous soft wood I could get my hands on. I think it's pine. You can see from the attached picture how porous it is. > How did you determine epoxy penetration? After it dried, I cut it and looked. There is no visible penetration. Even with a magnifier, it's hard to make a case that it got in any further than the very few top layers of cells that were cut when the lumber was milled. I hope the picture gets posted, there was some announcement about posting pictures on the ptg site, which I am too busy to do now. If it doesn't get posted, I will e-mail you the picture.
