When I sandwiched the rails and pine -- I had a seam right on top. To fix that, another "L" piece was epoxied right on top. Then the inner edge was cut flat.

Before applying the epoxy -- the rails were mounted on the platform. Then, they were attached to each other and the top edge (to be glued) was sanded.

Once the epoxy was applied -- a liberal clamp application was applied to press the cap down AND then make sure the edges align.
