: Thanks everyone for the info. I only ask because, I have the epoxy
: resin and hardener and I have gorilla glue but don't have the
: adhesive filler. So before I went ahead and bought that, wanted
: to know if I could use what I have.

: Rosanna

The filler is only there to thicken the epoxy mixture so it does not run. In stitch-n-glue boats, screened saw dust is often used. One builder uses whole-wheat or rye flour. Others have used talc (baby powder).
