Firstly, the excess epoxy was removed using a cleaned razor balde
Secondly, EP30-2 epoxy was applied at the exterior edges of the beam dump.
Interior of the V were glued at two points. This is to keep the gap away from being trapped
Here is the result of the gluing. Some epoxy was sucked into the gap by capillary action.
I believe, most of the rigidity is proivded by the bonds at the edges.
