Side discussion with Chris P: If you use faster-drying epoxy (the "5-minute" or even "30-minute" varieties), when mixed with grenadilla dust the working and drying times are just right, in my opinion. And, less air gets trapped in the mix so you have less porosity in the final patch. You can also mold the blob a bit while it's drying to push it thoroughly into the nick/hole/chip. I use a mix with superglue sometimes too, but often it sets a bit too fast for my tastes and does tend to trap air, resulting in a rougher-looking patch.

Anyway, we all have our 'pet' methods and the results are what matter.
