[Woodworkers] encapsulation material?

[Don Myers via Woodworkers]

It is 100% Crystal Clear resin epoxy  2part system Just remember this
material has a very very short pot lift the container that is mixed in will
become extremely HOT. it should be placed on the wood somwwhat thicker than
regular paint as the wood must not flex or it will crack
