Thread: new member filling my way around

G'day reprint,
Surely sounds like a fun project.....There's some big holes involved in that furniture....didn't know our little termite friends did Jarrah.
Welcome aboard, and soon there'll be someone along with a helpful answer.

gday mate welcome aboard im sure someone will help you out as watson said its a great forum and im sure you will learn plenty from cus i sure have!

pictures please,
it depends on what sort of look you want.
are the channals open on the surface.
filling with a coloured epoxy like araldite will give the surface a glazier type of look.
coloured builders bog can hide the trenches depending on how good you are at camoflage.
a really good restorer or somone with a good eye, patience and natural talant can dissapear the damage.
or you can use the termite holes as part of the character of the piece.
a lot depends on the original quality of the piece,
a high quality piece looks a bit messy if you use the epoxy
a solid utility piece can look great.

Hi and welcome. I can't help you much here but I know one has to be careful so as not to ruin the character of the project.

Welcome to the mashouse and its menagerie of rat bag characters.
I"m impressed! Pigeon holes AND termite holes in the one piece? that took some imagination!harhar:

I have had great results with Megapoxy. You can get a clear type or one that you add pigment to. I use the Megapoxy 69 and add black pigment in a lot of items I have made. Goes off in 24 hours easy to work with and comes in a two pack so you use what you need. You can buy it in 2 x 1 ltr or 2 x 2ltr packs. You can also buy it in larger amounts.

Hope this helps.
