I don't know, Gary;
That whole heated epoxy business sounds like a problem the fumes alone, someone fight find you on the floor. I just did some mahogany in wood hardener and it seems to be fine. Next I have a very nice piece of walnut burl that I am going to do. I have heard and have tried wiping down a handle with several coats of super glue and this does a great finish. on a softer piece I may try wood hardener inside then a super glue glaze when I am finished. what do you think.Paul

By the way, I like your chopper!
