I do not want to hide the character of those holes. I have been told there is some form of clear epoxy I can fill them with. Then I will use use poly to cover the entire top. </p>
<p>Has anyone used any type of clear filler for these types of holes?</p>

<p>Roger</p> Top coat for outdoor painted chairtag:kregjig.ning.com,2014-06-17:2900167:Topic:6272492014-06-17T02:54:00.686ZM Blairhttps://kregjig.ning.com/profile/MBlair
<p>Several years ago, I made the "Adirondack" outdoor chair based on plans from Kreg. It was a fun project because I put all the slats together and painted a picture of a barn on the back of the chair. I used mostly craft paints and acrylics. I put on a few coats of polyacrylic top coat.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I just took it out of the garage and noticed that the polyacrylic is almost all gone. I suppose it weathered off during a few summers when it sat on my porch.</p>

<p>Could anybody recommend a better top coat as a sealer? I'm looking at the spar urethene, but I don't know if it will give me a thicker result than the polyacrylic. Also, I've looked at thebRustoleum Neverwet kit at HD, but I'm skeptical.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Any advice or experience would be appreciated!</p> Finishing Help/Suggestionstag:kregjig.ning.com,2012-01-10:2900167:Topic:3939572012-01-10T17:01:47.280ZDoug Nalehttps://kregjig.ning.com/profile/DougNale
<p>First time posting in the forum but I've been a Kreg user for a while. This winter's plan is to do a psuedo-workstation for 2 which will replace a current computer desk and then also have a book shelf on top. I plan to keep things fairly modular in case we ever sell the house and want to move as well as for ease in getting this into the den/office. </p>

<p>First time posting in the forum but I've been a Kreg user for a while.

<p>I have my plans made up for the base unit. Current plan is oak and oak plywood. My questions are about finishing. Water or oil based stain? Stain and sealer/finish in one? Spar vanish? Satin, matte or glossy? I'm leaning toward a red oak color. To me the brands don't really differentiate. I guess I've used Minwax the most in the past. But with Cabot and now Rustoleum having stains, I really only want to do this one time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So I'm looking for tips and hints and a little guidance.</p>
