Was given a cedar blank by my step-father
It has a great knot hole in side
I've turned the outside to basic size with a Ci1 (until I had to send it on :~) Anyway I finally got around to filling in the hole.
Thought I'd use 5 minute epoxy with coffee grounds to do the job
At the last minute I thought I'd throw in some filings from the key cutter at the local hardware store.
Mixed it all up and proceeded to fill the hole.Going well
Then I noticed a puff of smoke(?) :o Maybe steam (?) and the mix was frothing and bubbling better than the witches cauldron in macbeth.
I watched it in bewilderment :tears:::
It set very spongy and useless for what I wanted. I dug it out with a chisel, screwdriver and pigstabber.
Any idea what I did wrong? My guess is something in the filings :think:
