I'm really digging the epoxy sealing especially hardwoods

Were you cutting the etex with alcohol?

I just did 18 plugs and had left over etex and didn't have any issues with working time.

Like Chris said, cut the thicker epoxies with denatured alchohol. Thins it nice so you can just pour it over and thru the blanks.

I've used pretty much any epoxy I've had around the house and all seemed to work fine. I've been using up some old aftcote rod building epoxy...
