sanding epoxy...

I am planning on gluing up some picture frames with West epoxy with wood dust filler. 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. -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.
