Gluing the Scarf Joint

Today I glued the scarf joints. I used MAS epoxy with Cab-O-Sil thickener as a glue. After 24 hours of curing I will know if these scarf joints are a success.





I have to admit I'm a little nervous. I'm hoping that the properties of thickened epoxy will compensate for my novice wood working skills. I really have no idea how perfect the scarf cuts need to be. Many worries. Is the epoxy mixed enough? Too little or too much Cab-O-Sil? Did the panels slide accidentally while weighting them? Did I glue everything to the floor? I'll find out tomorrow.
