I've used 20 minute finishing epoxy as is. Thin and soaks into the wood well. I brush it on with an acid brush and only enough to get good coverage. Leaves a nice thin coat of epoxy.

PS...I have heard and have proven that Alcohol will make epoxy a bit rubbery when it cures.
Hmm, I have never had a problem with the epoxy/alcohol mix curing properly. [sm=confused.gif]
