Hi everyone,
I'm making a cherry live edge dining table joining 3 slabs. Some of the wood feels a little soft (when i press it, it is "springy"). I've read that i can use a hardener of some sort but i have no experience. Myy questions are:
1. Should i use a hardener?
2. If so, what type? a very thin layer of clear epoxy? jb-weld liquid hardener? minwax hardener?
3. i'm planning on putting a clear coat on it afterwards. should i finish it first and then put the hardener to get the finish right in case the clear coat doesn't look the same on tiop of the hardener or put the hardener first?

thanks!
