I've never used either because I like more of a natural wood finish. But, if I were after a hard, shiny finish, I'd sure reach for the resin before doing multiple coats of CA.
Jim, reach for the 2 coat of epoxy in stead of 12 coats of CA.
I know you like the natural but use the epoxy if that's the look
your after. It saves a hell of alot of time & pays back very good result's.
