Be careful that whatever you do with the epoxy including adding fillers, etc. that what you are using it on, in or about has sufficient area to absorb the heat produced as the epoxy 'kicks off'.
I build a wooden sailing dinghy using the 'stitch and glue (epoxy) and got pretty good with the stuff--so I thought! When I began an epoxy plus filler repair on a 1.5" x 4" x 1.5" hole in my deck, I learned quickly and fortunately without a fire, that one cannot fill such a whole in 'one go'! Without enough surface to absorb the heat generated by the epoxy, it kicked off like a chain reaction and produced a very hot, softball sized but mostly air filled ball above the hole. Had this repair been done similarly in a place where I could not easily reach it, there likely would have been a fire! Charlie Nelson Water Phantom cenel...@aol.com
