So plan out the glueing and clamping process to make sure the glue up can be done quickly. The key to a successful epoxy glue up is to first "wet" both surfaces of the joint with epoxy followed by applying epoxy with a structural filler to one side of the joint. The epoxied joint is going to be slippery so side slip of the joint should be accounted for in glue up procedure. </div><div><br>On Nov 10, 2015, at 5:26 PM, Herb Treuil via Woodworkers <<a href="mailto:woodworkers@lists.sawdusters.org">woodworkers@lists.sawdusters.org</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>Which glue is better?<div><br></div><div>I am building an arched garden bench.
