Dean, I applied a masking tape to the outside (checkered area), worked it into the checkering with my thumb hoping to control any that went thru (2 cracks you could actually see a tiny sliver of light thru after acetone cleaning). Applied the epoxy to the inside of fore end and used a popcicle stick to spread, and an orangewood cuticle stick and a finger tip to force it into the cracks. As this stuff cures so slowly you had 30+ minutes to fool with it. I placed a couple of rubber bands on it when epoxy finally started to gel. I ended up with cracks filled all the way thru and the tape kept the over penetration to a bare minimum
