Before I fill a crack with CA, I take a white wax crayon and apply to the end and both sides of the crack. It does the same as the shellac and is ready to use instantly.
Larger voids and knot holes I fill with epoxy, adding a drop of black dye to the mix and add turquoise pieces and brass clippings.
Love the canisters.
Crayon's as in kids crayons? Think I'll give that a try. Cheap, easy and pretty foolproof! Thanks for the tip.
Thanks...

I use 5 minute epoxy mixed with powdered brass. Pack the stuff into a crack, finish turning, sand and buff as usual. You have some very attractive cannisters. tom koehler
Thanks Tom. I've used 5 min epoxy before too, but these were just thin hairline cracks. I'm not sure that I'd have been able to get a sufficient amount of glue into the cracks with epoxy. The thin CA wicks in nicely. For bigger voids though, epoxy is definitely a great solution...
