dumb question—do you mix the sawdust w epoxy before pushing it into the crack or push the dust into epoxy that is already in crack? Thanks—tape ordered. Very helpful.

Alan.....I mix the dust with the epoxy prior to pushing it into the crack. Never tried it by pushing the dust on top of the epoxy......if you do try that, let us know how it turned out.
Note: I've tried other kinds of tapes for this.....celophane, electrical tape, and these don't work very well. The hockey tape just peels away from the wood and leaves the epoxy repair intact.
After the epoxy dries, the repair is easily sand-able.

Tape worked well. Mixed coffee grounds and epoxy and pushed into crack, then sprinkled more grounds on top. Later sanded. Worked out well and thanks.
Good brand names like Sorby, Hurricane, and other HSS cutting tools can be purchased and resharpened with great economy and results. Cheap tool sets (the starter sets- 8 knives for $70.00 are ok to learn on, but you may never keep them sharp enough and will outgrow them very quickly. Then your wife will say, "Why are you buying more gouges, you already have some?" you will have to admit to doing something stupid, (which you won't) and the fight is ON! Buy top quality used and you start out ahead of the game!
