Paint each side of dry wood with unthickened epoxy so it will be absorbed.
Wait a few minutes but don't let it cure. Then put a thin layer of thickened epoxy and clamp just tightly enough to achieve the shape you need and to mimimize any gaps. The thickened epoxy is just a gap filler and the gaps are supposed to be very minor. If the gaps are too large then the epoxy would form hard spots. I'd use fumed silica for thickener. The thicker you make it the faster it cures - can be too fast to work with so thicken only enough so it doesn't run and will act like a gap filler. |
