I pore filled a piece of Cocobolo, sanded back to the wood the next day, and applied a coat of true oil that day after. Pores are totally filled .
It sands more easily than epoxy, and not as toxic.
Skinboats.org $15us for 12 oz.
Think I will give it a bigger test on white ash.

Thanks for sharing the tip Russ. I wonder how it will hold up to the heat of a buffing wheel. That is where I’ve seen some porefillers and incompletely cured finishes shrink back or shortly thereafter in the next few days.
