cinnamon,

cheap, smells nice, matches our cedar. I didn't run a test under epoxy but it should be fine.

: Don't get too nervous about the Durhams. when I used it, I tried wood floor
: (several different colors) as well as microballons, both white and red. I
: found that I could get the color pretty close but even the areas that
: appeared too light came out fine after several coats of epoxy and now many
: many coats of varnish. Varnish seems to tone down and blend everything on
: a stripper. On your S&G, it just darkened the mahogany. If you have light
: woods like pine or white cedar, they will be more yellow than white. The
: Durhams will darken some and blend with surrounding colors better than it
: looks now.
