Z splice

(1/3) > >>

Muskyman:
Trying my first z splice cut okay then steamed and clamped it for a better fit.
Acetone bath and glued it with ea 40  glue squirted everywhere and looked to be plenty.
After drying for 24 hours I noticed a small void in it. Should I mix a little more glue and try to fill it? I probably will, just wondering if you think it will migrate into the void and work. Gonna add some wood to the back side of the handle area.

Hamish:
A little more glue certainly won't hurt. Unless the void looks to be really big, or goes from one side to the other it may be hard to get the glue to go deep as epoxy is more viscous than runny.

If the gap goes right through you can put glue on one side and use a vacuum to suck it through from the other side.

superdav95:
Looks like it will be good splice.  Just heat up the ea 40 a little to make it little more liquid to get deeper in the voids.  Also add a touch of heat into splice to help.
