Hi Joe,

It seems that not too many builders use epoxy for glueing the strips, but I'm inclined to agree with you. This way, you have the same material in the joints as you have on the surface. Cleaning squeeze outs should be a non-issue.

Two questions.

1. Are you able to do more than one strip per side at a time?
2. Do you thicken the epoxy?

Thanks,
Andy.
