Z-Poxy is OK but I like the ease of System III myself. Just make sure you wait until it dries before applying your finish. I wait three days. The lacquer I've used don't stick well to epoxy so a barrier coat, either shellac or vinyl sealer is a must. Looking good.
Be aware that even epoxy will shrink back into the pores in time. Just not as fast or as much as the acrylic or mineral based stuff.
I'm planning on Z-poxy followed by tru-oil on my first build. Do I need a sealer in between the Z-poxy & tru-oil?
I LOVE this stuff! A few pics after 3 thin coats, before sanding the last one.

The results are really spectacular - but, sorry, we're going to have to stick to shellac sealer/filler for now.
Do you have to deal with amine blush with Z-Poxy?
Some say fillers and some say sealers. Are you guys talking about sealers that do both? fill porous wood and seal it at the same time? :/
I am also curious about this... if I do z-poxy for grain fill, do I need to apply a sealer before applying lacquer finish? Or does it suffice for both grain filler and sealer?
