I have some reclaimed heartwood redwood that I'm planning into turning into an outdoor table and chairs. It's fairly beat up, so I was planning on filling in the the larger cracks and voids with epoxy. However, I've since learned that I'd need to use a film finish to protect it, and I don't want to do that. I live in Colorado so the pieces are going to be subjected to pretty intense UV exposure. I want to use a finish that I can simply brush on each each year (like Sherwin Williams SuperDeck Oil Transparent, but I'm not tied to that).
I've tried various stainable wood fillers in the past, but they are never really stainable and always end up coming loose in larger voids. Anyone know of any wood filler that has good holding power and won't break down under UV exposure or won't break down with a non-film finish applied? Absorbing the stain isn't super important as long as the filler is available in different colors or can be dyed.
