I glued on one thwart cleat using thickened epoxy. Cleaning up the glue squeeze out was kind of a pain even though I cleaned it up during and after before it totally cured. I was looking at the instructions and it doesn’t say to use thickened epoxy for the thwart cleats, but it does say to use thickened epoxy for the seat carlin that goes on the opposite side. Are you supposed to use thickened epoxy? Will unthickened epoxy work? It seems like the squeeze out would be less of an issue.
Whenever you use epoxy as glue it must be thickened, otherwise it will run out of the joint and leave it weakened and starved. You did exactly the right thing .
