Here are the products that I use and highly endorse. Z-Poxy's Finishing Resin flows well and has hardly any odor. (In the past I used Polyester Resin that stunk to high heaven.) I always cut my resin with denatured alcohol. In this small batch I pulled 5cc of resin and another 5cc of hardener in the small mixing cup. A quick mix, then I added 10cc of the denatured alcohol. This gives you a very viscous mixture that will soak into the wood well.
