Any suggestions for a low viscosity epoxy to try to penetrate into basswood? Is thinning the epoxy with acetone good or bad for this?
Zpoxy is fairly thin, LMI carries it. You can thin many epoxies with denatured alcohol (including Zpoxy) - I don't know if it is compatible with all epoxies but every one I've used thinned fine with alcohol. I haven't tried Acetone, it might be compatible, but I think it might evaporate to quickly to give you much working time.
