Joe, I of course agree with the first part of the sentence, epoxy fills, but when it comes to adhesion, the wetting capacities of epoxy looks poor to me, so the bond is more mechanical than structural. I like to hear what others have to say about those resins as glue (I know there are some specific compound for epoxy glues) Did some meet failed epoxy glue joints in this domain ? gluing back post and wrest plank ? One thing I experimented myself with epoxies is the immediate (one good exposure only) rise of an hyper sensibilization, and now, whenever I file, sand or work on epoxy that is may be not totally cured, my hands are itching and get red (I feel they are ready to grow if I insist). Wear mask and gloves (I had mask only), it is very annoying as the same reaction occur with polyester repairs also . Acrylic products may be a must to avoid these.
