Wood Epoxy Saturation Technique

 When gluing it is important to always saturate the wood, namely end grain, with glue.  This is because the wood will soak up the glue which can/will cause the joint to split apart.  This is done by applying resin to the end grain and then waiting 5 to 10 mins until the wood has soaked it in, then you can make more resin, this time adding the fixatrope, and then sealing the joint.  This video quickly demonstrates the first part of this process.
