Wingbone Joint Transition Filler??
« on: March 16, 2023, 09:55:15 PM »


Wingbone Filler between Bones?

What do you all use to fill in the transition between bones to smooth them out?

I read somewhere Lumber epoxy putty. Any other ideas?

I use 10 minute epoxy and I mix it up a little thick. Use a popsicle stick to press it in the joints. Then I will start building up next to the joints with colored sewing threads and wrap it like crazy.  I have used red, white and blue thread for some that I made for a friend who is a Retired Marine. Then I did several with purple and gold threads "LSU" colors. I built the threads up and then layer on the epoxy.  Make sure that you clean the bones really well and clean out the inside of the bones with a dremel tool. Do a dry run fitting them together and make a small mark with a pen so you know what fits where. Good luck Bud!!!

Have a good one and May God bless y'all, Bo

I’ve always used that two part epoxy putty stick they sell in the marine section at Walmart. Let it set, sand it down.
