    The thing about using an epoxy/microfibres bog, rather than titebond or the like is that it doesn't need clamping or even an accurate fit, and the gunge will spread out and fill gaps and things. Unless the hole is really way off the centreblock the main thing you want the patch to do is to stop the post falling out of the side, there shouldn't be an amazing load on the fixup.

    0h yes, a top tip for working with epoxy is brown parcel tape, epoxy doesn't stick to it so its great for protecting stuff, although I'd be wary about sticking it to the external wood because of tape residue.
