Well then, I'd suggest trying it once at least. West Systems seems to be the preferred choice, 206 and 207 I think it is. I also enjoyed System 3 until they stopped shipping to Canada.
Epoxy has a very long open time (if mixed right) which allows you to really massage it into the pores. But, the very long open time also means it'll pick up a lot of nits if it's not done in a clean, dust free environment.
Epoxy also doesn't shrink back, though it still usually takes three sessions to be done.
I don't recommend sanding back to wood either. It tends to open up new pores.
