Lock tite- wood epoxy

[gordon stelter]

I just used some of this stuff, mixed with aniline dye
powder, to replace a bit of rim molding on a 1925
grand I am working on. Worked pretty well. Hard to see
repair. I would, though, like to hear others'
recommendations for such repairs. I am inclined to try
the "Tootsie Roll"(TM) type epoxy putty, mixed with
dye powder, next time.
