I am in the process of making a jarrah box with 12mm sides 120mm high with mitred corners and a 100mm long hidden spline in each joint running the full length except for the last 10mm each end of each joint (to avoind the lid and the base).
Something has gone wrong in the glue -up / clamping process, and I am left with one joint with a full length hairline gap, uniform for the full height of the box. The joint is strong because of the hidden spline, but unsightly because of the fine gap on the corner ( to me anyway). It appears like the spline on that particular joint is a hairs width too wide.
Can anyone please advise on the best way to fix this so that the gap is not noticable? I have available Techniglue epoxy, PVA glue and jarrah sawdust, and of course jarrah coloured Timbermate. The problem is getting them into the fine gap which runs for 100mm.
I did intend to finish the box by routing a 3mm roundover bit on the corner joints, but will put that on hold for the time being.
