How does that work? Do you have to mix it in? Presumably it causes it to expand??

John Rudd:
Yes.... :dremel:

and although I've not tried it meyself, I believe it to be sandable...

TroyO:
I've used the baking soda trick. I usually fill the gap with liquid glue then sprinkle the soda on and shake off the excess.

Or, spackle the gap/fillet with baking soda first, then add some drops of the thin super glue and it will "wick" through the powder and turn it solid afer it dries.

It's a great way to add strength to T type joints.... a fillet on either side will increase strength by a factor of several times.
