I don't understand the point of working with physically vile, expensive CA unless you really want to change the property of the wood itself into something more brittle. Epoxy has long been regarded as a tone killer and a heavy substance, so I don't see the point of using it even if you like how it behaves. Though I hate the stuff and dislike the process, standard pore-filler performs best for me now that I have developed a touch for it. It doesn't weigh down the wood, and color control is good. I sometimes use shellac to seal and fill, and unless the wood is really open pore, it works. Frankly, I think most of us gravitate towards whatever process we can control best.
