I have been using SMITH & CO PRODUCTS for years and mostly there clear penetrating epoxy and they also make a product just what you are looking for and there location is Richmond Ca 94804 and there phone number is 1-510-237-6842 it might be worth you while to check them out seeing that they are in Cal also , just a thought .

The word "penetrating" is a bit of salesmens term here. The resin does not really penetrate deep, no matter which one You use.
