Maple sealing , again.

I have an abundance of maple scrap from work. All 3/4" - 1 1/14". I need wood but always prefer birch. I plan to do my array of needles and a new version. I've sealed a few with e tex epoxy. Messy as hell. I also heated wood and epoxy. Thinning e tex has been noted on other forums to not be that good do to evaporation and actual epoxy not penetrating. Had occasional cracking at hook hole. No grommet so it's not from scratching the wood with the insertion of grommet. Is this the nature of the beast. Win a few and lose a few?
I guess I'm looking for an alternative sealer or a surer way to get a better penetration with e tex..
