if you clamp too tightly you will squeeze the epoxy out and the joint

That's why I apply thickener. Enough pressure to achieve the bend and
the closure of any gaps, but not too much to press it all out.

My question just aims at the amount I should apply. Too much is bad,
too little too.

Thanks for your comment!

As far as thickner the old guy I used to deal with always told me
thickener is not Epoxy. Use it to keep Epoxy in place, but don't over
use it, as it is not as strong as Epoxy...
