Before you spend too much time on it, dampen a cloth with mineral spirits and wipe it over the area. The color change will approximate what the wood will look like when it gets epoxied. You may find the the glue line is not so noticible and you won't need to do anything.

: I had a titebond disaster on my heron, well just a minor one. The glue was
: bad and I ended up glueing a few strips before I realized. I got that
: dreaded chalky residue. It planes off fine but there is still a very
: little bit between the strips. Do i fill it with epoxy/ wood flour and try
: to force it into the little gaps between the strips?

: Maybe a pencil to color over it in to make it blend with the dark western
: red?

: Any Ideas?

: Thanks
