i use a toothpick to push into the holes to force air out and epoxy in.

Hi Thanks for the video. Do you still use this technique? What if you want to stabilize a slab with a lot of bug holes (like hundreds)? This epoxy looks a bit too thick to spread on.

This epoxy is actually pretty runny. It finds its level very quickly. I wouldn't see any issues with filling many small holes. Consider deep set epoxy if you have a large area to fill.

Thank you --Now my question after application of the epoxy can you use a sealer and a stain?

[@nualln]

Yes. Any water or solvent based finish will stick. Stain won’t change the color.

Why did you not stagger the board joints? Best for strength and looks.

[@nualln]

It's a tabletop glue-up with dominoes. Plenty strong.

Would it be safer with a heat gun?

[@BigBoysWorkshop]

Yes, for sure.

Heat gun works fine .
