I have some west stuff, will probably use as This stuff is never cheap and I only need tiny amounts for this job.

you posted as I edited, but great idea using the sanding dust like that.... will make the epoxy easier to handle as its as runny as runny sh*t otherwise

My teak wheel has a few slight splits , nothing too serious so worth filling. I am going to sand it and use uroxsys, but first what to fill the gaps with?
tech sheet for Uroxsys says below , would any marine epoxy do ?
Any cracks in the timber should be epoxy filled or splined with timber. Radius all edges to ensure that no sharp corners
remain. Substrates should be thoroughly sanded to clean, even coloured timber working through the sandpaper grades
to P150 grit (sanding with the grain using the 150 grit) to provide a keyed surface.

I used white to paint inside of RnB, its ok but there isnt much pigment so you need several layers to cover any darker marks under it. sets hard. you WILL NEED full face resp as fumes are intense.
I liked it but would try something with more pigmentation next time..... if there is a high pigment white durable interior marine paint?
