Wow that's an amazing repair! Can you kindely explain a bit more about the process? How did you use that bog Oak to make the filling material, what was the ratio of the oak/epoxy? And sorry for the silly question, but what exactly is CA coating and where can I get it?

The repair is covered on page 1266, post # 12655, in the workshop thread...what are you working on.!!

CA, is super glue. You apply it with a finger while wearing latex gloves. There's videos on using it for a finish on scales, all over the web. So quick...so easy.

You apply it with a finger while wearing latex gloves. I never remember the gloves and then clean my fingers with the belt sander.
