Does anyone know the name of the hardener Ryan uses at Mirai? I know he has mentioned it but I can’t recall. Thanks
It’s called CPES- Clear Penetrating Epoxy Sealer. - https://live.bonsaimirai.com/archive/video/hardening-deadwood

Smith’s CPES is very good for hardening off wood. Just be sure you’ve got the wood to the color you like. You cannot change the color later.
I have heard, but have not tested, that Smith’s CPES is just an expensive way to buy epoxy that has been diluted with denatured alcohol. So I bought both. 
It must be time to test… now where’d I put that teak oil?
