Using epoxy

[Tom Bussey]

I bought a piece of Pecan while I was on vacation in Texas. I am thinking about using a the deep MAS Deep Pour Epoxy that Rockler sells. Having read and watched videos on the subject I am wondering if I shouldn't use some penetrating epoxy sealer also. I do not mind the $40 for the epoxy but $40 for the sealer kind of puts it out of reach for my pocket book. How necessary is the sealer or is there some other sealer that will work. I used Minwax sealer to seal some rotted wood on a window to good success. I am asking because I have no experience with this operation.

Here are some pictures of what I have. The third picture is of the other side. and thanks for the help.

I've seen people use plain old varnish to seal things like that. (u-toob)
They say it will help with eliminating a lot of the air bubbles. HTH
