I am trying to use the black resin crack filling technique for filling my
 reclaimed oak. I was to obtain a matte black finish (probably sanding will do matte part). Wood will be finished with wax only.


I need to know which products to order to do this:
- resin, needs to have very low viscosity in order to be able to enter and settle into these cracks, also a very low shrinkage factor. 
- dye / pigment to use - as black as possible
- quantity somewhere between 0.8-1.5kg is what I expect to need
- slow curing, I have lots of cracks to fill and I don't want to miss them, minimum 30min, preferable 1h if possible
- wood planks are up to 5cm deep, in case it matters.
- price wise, i don't want to spend too much. initially I found the West System advertised on YouTube but apparently is quite expensilbe.

Again for your crack you would want the GlassCast 10.  Assuming your measurements are accurate, a 500g pack of the resin should be plenty.
