In this video, I show you how to stop epoxy from bleeding into wood. When you carve into wood, it opens up the grain and lets epoxy soak in where you don’t want it. I walk through 4 different ways people seal their projects before adding epoxy. I explain what works, what to watch out for, and how to get clean, sharp results. If you work with CNC, laser engraving, or epoxy inlays, this will help you get better results and avoid mistakes.
