wtnhighlander Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 I just ran across this product: https://www.hotmelt.com/products/7718-knot-filling-glue-10-stick-packs?variant=29396278050839 Anyone here tried it? Seems like a much faster to apply option to epoxy for filling knots or voids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 No I haven't, but that's a very interesting approach to the problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpt life Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 I’d want to test it. Not having heard of this approach, I’d want to know how stable it is through temp swings, and how hard it sets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted December 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 Those are my thoughts, as well. The product has a pretty high melting point, but hardness isn't documented. The video that led me to search for it demonstrated paring it with a chisel and sanding it, but on a pretty small void. Just observing how it cut with the chisel, I'd guess it to be a little softer than most cured epoxy that is used for the same application. Still, for a lot of the fine detail stuff we do to make our pieces look better, it should work very well, and save a LOT of time over most epoxies.

So, the hardness of epoxy means that swings rely on the rebound of wood. If this is softer than wood, you will rely on the rebound of the filler. That would make me nervous about it working loose. Just processing thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 Any idea as to how it looks after sanding and the finish being applied? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted December 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 In the example I saw, it looked the same as a tinted epoxy. But that was a pretty small sample. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
