The Tootsie Roll!

This stuff is good....

Mohawk Epoxy Putty Stick.  It looks like a big tootsie roll.  The great thing is you cut off only the amount you require, kneed it in you hands for a few minutes, and then apply it.  It hardens in a few minutes and is sandable.  The only downside is it does not accept stain very well.  You will need to "paint" the stain on.

I used this to fill in a large gouge in the lid, the edge of the lower shelf, and best of all I used it to fix three missing turns from the legs, which I bet is a common problem on the A100....


After applying and shaping the epoxy as shown, I let it set 24 hours and then sanded it to the final shape.  I then applied stain but did not wipe it off, I just let it dry over the epoxy.

Places that needed grain lines needed to be added with a black permanent marker. 

The epoxy is available on Amazon.
