Should have mentioned this before.

Warm up the epoxy and it will be thinner and flow in deeper. Of course the higher temperature means it will set up faster, too--so mix only a small amount and apply it quickly. If you have some acetone around, a drop or two mixed in with the resin will also thin it a bit.
