ET,

What would you dye the glue with? I once had some West System dies, but they were all very mild, light green, yellow and red (I think) that wouldn't show up easily.

Bjorn's theory was that the epoxy would weep down into the joint and provide full strength anyway. I was just going to check to see if the epoxy was there.

I also thought about using your single brad method instead of staples (I haven't graduated into stapleless yet).
Did you use a pneumatic gun for those?
