Yeah, Splint. I patched up some of the worst chip-outs this afternoon with 5 minute epoxy. Also took a dental pick to some of the edges of the crack, and found another bark inclusion hiding just below the surface, so dug that out and filled it with resin.
We have company arriving tomorrow, so it’ll be Tuesday before I get back in the shop, so mostly I wanted to make sure I had mostly filled that pretty crack. I find that I can turn down the excess a LOT faster with a carbide tool, and it’s a lot less plastic in the air filter and dust mask, so that’s how I usually do it.
Yeah, time to cure vs. time to recoat is different for almost every brand. Of course, I’m pondering switching away from System Three (their prices keep heading the wrong direction, but I’ve got about a half-gallon of resin yet, so no immediate change), so I may need to learn a whole new brand; I’ve been chatting with the folks at Rolio Pigments, and they’re saying things that I like so far.
