it was a two part epoxy for gas tanks, still does not want to hold stain or ink dye to well
little lite , going to put more on and let dry over night , then put thin layer of super glue
over it to seal it off , sanded the bolsters down to take out the well they had put in it when they
hammered on it , one a little more than the other , one of the biggest wadsworths i have seen
that didnt have a deer hoof attached to it. lol
