Due to the voids I created last time around making these beam anchors, I was going to make absolutely sure it didn't happen again. For starters, I added just enough glass fibers and Cabosil to the epoxy to thicken it to a "honey" consistency. Then I put the epoxy container into the Vac-Mobile and manned the controls for almost 15 minutes to get the air out of solution.
After that, I slowly poured the mixture into the troughs before smoothing it over and then running a heat gun over the surface to remove the little bubbles just under the surface.
Once I was satisfied with the fill and level, I added some peel ply and let it cure.
Same for other side.
