Still trying to develop the skill to fill the pores on my walnut guitar and apply a clear finish.
I put two coats of epoxy (West) on it, allowing a day in between coats for curing. Tonight I went over it with a scraper and sandpaper. I had problems.
There seemed to be gummy places in the epoxy. There were places where I could not get a shiny finish, and I could scratch the epoxy with a fingernail. The epoxy stuck to the scraper in places, and the globs on the scraper caused scratches to appear when I scraped.
I know I mixed this stuff correctly. I used the West dispensing system. I know I mixed it well. I really hammered it for over a minute. I know the temperature was over 70 degrees, so it had time to cure.
Any ideas?
I bought a can of Behler neutral pore filler. I'm going to see if it's any better.
