I was also curious about this about 5 years ago. I did some tests with
different scraps of spruce and plywood that was laying around. I did not
get results that I would bet my life on. The west epoxy was to runny to
stay in the joint. It does not appear to have any good gap filling
qualities as it is brittle by it's self. The destructive testing of my
samples also broke at epoxy lines without bring wood fibers with it in
many cases. Most of my boat is glued with rosinol glue as that is what
Rand recommended at the time (nearly 10yrs ago)
Use the epoxy that is made for it's primary mission.
