I don't see the point of the gaps between the planks except perhaps for appearance. It does aid the thickened epoxy to enter and seal the gaps.

But with the planks assembled dry but in contact, unthickened epoxy should penetrate into the cracks easily enough. I've forgotten the name but one of our contributors posted that this works well.
