Hi guys,
Im 80% finished my 2nd build and currently need to attach the neck. Unfortunately the joint is pretty loose so I am going to need fill it. My initial thought has been epoxy but Ive come across mixed responses to the notion of epoxy in a neck joint. So, first, is epoxy the correct approach? If so, which one is best suited for the job? [Ive had some experience with some generic amazon brands but they cured rather malleable, so far from ideal) And if epoxy isn't the right option what should I use?
Aesthetically, dust and glue would look a lot worse than, say, a clear epoxy due to the finish on the body and the neck so I'm rather reluctant to go for that. Having said that, functionality over form so I will heed your advice.
Many thanks

I have thought about that, but it seemed a lot more difficult, One side of the cavity isn't true due to an accident with the router, and there would be a space between the side and the shim that would need filling anyway. Secondly Im building this in my bedroom with very limited tools and am unsure how I would actually create shims of the correct dimensions.
