Default sanding epoxy...

How well does the squeeze out sand?


Once cured, it sands fine. That assumes you can get at it easily. If
your frame pieces are convoluted, that could be a problem and I'd try
to avoid squeeze out and if not possible remove it before it sets.
Vinegar works.

Just an FYI...
Cyanoacrylate works nicely for frames. It might be easier and is
definitely less messy. Of course, it needs smooth, well mated
surfaces and the way to achieve that is chalk...rub chalk over both
mating surfaces so it fills pores and low areas, blow off excess,
apply CA, hold or clamp pieces til set. If the frame is going to be
finished "natural" keep chalk maybe 1/16" away from the joint edge
that will be visible.

I've put together 100s of frames using the above - frames from 16X20
to 30x40 with 5" moldings - and none ever failed.
