: Thickening epoxy will also help keep it from running out of a glue joint.
: Sometimes the description is "the consistancy of ketchup."

: For filleting you are probably using "the consistancy of peanut
: butter."

: For high-strength glue joints thicken with high strength fillers, like
: Cab-o-sil. For light weight fillets thicken with lightweight fillers like
: microballoons.

That REALLY helps a lot. I think I understand it now. THANKS!
