What smell? My epoxy is pretty odorless. Polyester maybe? That's
what I use (in the form of Bondo).

Bingo.

Epoxy is oderless but a total waste of good epoxy for this
application.

1/4" tempered hardboard and some double backed tape works for me.

A waste of good epoxy? To renew a zero-clearance insert? It takes all of
about 1/2 ounce of epoxy to get the job done. Sometimes I have more than
that left over from most of the woodworking tasks I use epoxy for.


Plus, you're doing your part to help out the epoxy industry during these
trying times.
