I did a search and did not come up with much so pardon me if this has been posted before.
One of my favorite techniques for using epoxy is to heat it before applying with a heat gun or hair dryer.
It will quickly get much thinner and flows nicely into wood grain and joints. This works best with the longer time versions (30 and 45 min.) but you can also use it with the shorter cure.
I find that I can use much less glue and get the same or better strength and lighter weight.
Give it a try the next time you coat a baffle or want internal joints to flow into the nooks and crannies.
One note is that it will probably shorten the cure time, but not by much.
Best and Cheers!!
