In Response To: how much does varnish fill (Chris Menard)

These pin holes may go through the weave of the cloth to the wood. It would be best to make sure the surface is totally sealed and smoothed (totally fill the weave of the cloth) with epoxy before doing the varnish.

: while I was doing 150 grit sanding, I noticed some small pits in the epoxy.
: pin head size. Will the several coats of varnish fill these in?

It fills enough, but deep coats dry very slowly
