If the surfaces are porous and you apply then bring together the material may soak up some Epoxy and then the joint will be a bit dry...You have 2 hrs before gel so don't panic. You can put the joint together and pull it apart to check if all the surface is wet... Peter
Peter, I think he is wanting for filling gap in base to column joint.
I don't think pulling apart and looking is viable. Takes a long time to move heavy stuff and it has to be precisely aligned.
Have a filler tube feeding the joint and pour in until full / top up. Silicone around edge of joint to seal after aligning and before putting in epoxy.
