I am turning a travel mug wight he stainless steel liner from Woodcraft for our church's pastor appreciation next weekend. I have a nice piece of ambrosia maple with a little curl grain that has some worm holes. A couple of them got turned away as I got near the final mug dimensions. But I have a couple large worm holes and a longer worm track that I need to fill.
I have used CA and sanding dust for small cracks in bowls that are more decorative than bowls used daily. But unsure if it will be a good fix for a mug that may get used often. I have read about people using coffee grounds with CA glue or 15min. epoxy. here are my questions:
1) Which method do you guys recommend and have had success with?
2) I think epoxy might be better but when mixed even before adding the coffee grounds the viscosity is thick and may not flow down into the holes far enough. How do you thin epoxy without losing it's gripping power?
3) If I go with the CA/coffee grounds method - will the CA hold up to daily use on a travel mug?
Looking forward to your input
THANKS!!
