<p>As a boat builder I use a lot of epoxy, one thing I like to do is coat wood with epoxy prior to varnish,</p>

<p> </p>
<p>downside ,you still have to put on enough coats of uv varnish to protect the epoxy from the sun</p>
<p>and germain to this post it darkens the wood considerably. to the point that many owners think it is too muddy</p>
<p>also if you sand through you never quite seem to get rid of the splotchy color differences</p>
<p> Hesh do you notice this when you fill pores with resin?</p>
<p> </p>
<p> also</p>
<p>if a heavy coat of poly varnish changes tone does epoxy do this also</p>

<p>I use drywall compound. Needs to be tinted a little darker than the surface when wet and thinned to a soupy consistency with water. I use water based acrylics from the nearest store with a crafts section. Burnt Umber (dark brown for Rosewood) or Burnt Sienna (reddish brown for Mahogany) will look natural in the pores when finished. Do test this on scrap piece and don't freak out if the dried surface looks too light. It will darken with the seal and top coats.</p>

<p>Egg whites have probably been in use since the Pharaohs, along with rabbit skin glue. All of these materials, BTW, are alternatives to primer and gesso for preparing artists' canvas. I've also heard of using a mixture of boiled linseed oil and either pumice or rottenstone. </p>

<p>No experience with drywall but I have used egg whites, which is a very old-school method. I bet you have eggs in Trinidad. </p>

<p>A word of caution. Some of the plaster used in dental mold reproduction is very hard and can have a yellow cast. It's not your Cub Scout molding plaster. The "grinding" wheel used to trim the models looks like a circular rasp with teeth 1/4 in. long. </p>
