Hi the water clear casting resin is good but if there is any damp in the wood itdoesn't stick in too well lokks like cracks but if you stained it with black pigment there shouldn't be a problem Can get it off ebay i find Ariba is good ,but remember the more you mix the less hardener.If you only mix small amounts it need to be 10 percent or so large amounts 1/2 pint or more then way less ,maybe not even 1 percent it will still go off Try putting cling film over it while it sets.it can stay sticky on the outside for days

Have you heard of meningitis in dogs. I hadn't intill my 15 month old flatcoat got it.Starts with dog being very lethargic,tired and develpoes to stiff neck.We took her to the vets and she stayed in overnight on anti inflamatories and anti biotics,next day she was a bit better so we took her home.2 days later she took really ill so we took her to a better vet.She had x rays spinal taps etc ,but she had very difficult symptoms such as bloodshot eyes.2 days later they rang while she was under anasthetic to say they couldn't do another spinal tap as her brain pressure was too high.They said the only thing left was to try steroids and hope that it was meningitis.We went in to say our goodbyes and the little so and so came round the corner wagging her tail the difference was remarkable she is now well on the road to recovery but it just shows how easy thing happen Yes i wish i had taken ot insurance and saved myself £1300
