The resin we would recommend for small cracks up to around 10mm in thickness is our GlassCast 10 Clear Epoxy Casting Resin combined with a black pigment to make it black in colour. You can get up to 45min pot life with this resin system so should have plenty of time to pour and allow it to soak in.

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.
