Thanks much. I thought I remembered the Acraglas being clearer than the gel, but needed confirmation.
Steve, these holes/gouges will be filled now, before any staining or finishing is done, so I will be able to put the oil finish right over it. I've never tried this, but I think my best chance of hiding it is to dye the Acraglas, allow it to cure, finish it down and sand it in, then stain the stock just enough to closely match the color of the epoxy repairs. Then, with the finish going over it all, it should blend in well. I've been told it is easy to get the epoxy too dark, so use the dye very sparingly.
Byrddog, thanks for the recommendation on the Loctite epoxy. I'll get some and experiment with it before ordering the Acraglas original formula.
