Default RE: Epoxy question

What's not to like is that testing has shown that thinning epoxy with any solvent makes it:
1. Pourous
2. Weaker
3. Potentially not cure correctly
4. Prone to cracking

If one doesn't want the above, the simple solution is to thin it with heat or buy a thinner type of epoxy. A side benefit of thinning with heat it that it's been shown to improve how well the epoxy wicks into the wood.
