Thread: Sealing synthetics

I assume oak is a good choice, I'll waterproof the piece anyway.

I am not sure

I have seen most J-Nats attached to Cedar so that is what I used, I used Marine Epoxy to attach the hones, keeping in mind that taking them back off is near impossible..

I sealed the Cedar with 3 coats before the epoxy...

Also if that wood flexes at all it will snap an already weak stone in an instant so make sure of what you are doing before you do it...
