Here you can see the second red fillet I made. I'll leave out the first one because it's embarrassingly messy. The red colour is from the Epiglass fast hardener I'm using. I was a little surprised when I first saw it as I was expecting a yellowish colour. Perhaps they use red dye in the fast hardener to warn you!

The Epiglass was much thinner than other epoxies I've used. That makes it less than ideal for my purposes since it can't be used raw to fill any kind of gap. On the positive side it soaks into the wood very well.

Since this was the teak veneer I am bonding to, I first washed it well with acetone to strip the oils out.
