That was interesting especially when it gets to the cost of the various methods. Every year I seem to do a little less building so have been trying to keep the costs down. I have messed around with using the different epoxies that I had been using as top coats as sealers and i have not noticed any appreciable difference between any of them.
I do like how the epoxies harden the wood. Some epoxies like Etex are a lot cheaper than others like the sys 3 products and when thinned with denatured alchohol they seem to work just as well as a sealer. Nice thing is I can use the same product for sealing and topcoat, and shelf life does not seem to be an issue.
