After cutting a bunch of mortises with my Domino, I noticed that the jointing height adjustment had slipped on some of them, yielding misaligned cuts between the earlier mortises (where it was correct) and the later mortises (where it had slipped).  Now, I?ve got to fill some of the later mortises and recut them.  What type of filler material should I use, i.e., something that is hard and stable, but can still be cut with the Domino bit?  Would some sort of epoxy material be recommended?  I don?t know, as I?ve never tried doing something like this before.  The wood is jatoba (Brazilian cherry).

By the way, it needs to be something I can get at my local hardware store or Home Depot.  Thanks all.
 
Thanks, I'll try that.

That's what I like about forums.  Sometimes the answer is staring you in the face, but you can't see it.  Others have experienced the same issue and chime in with a solution.  Isn't technology great?

I would just fill it with a domino and then cut flush.

What I like about the Domino is the ability to recover from an operator slip up. The above mentioned solution as an example. In some cases placing another mortise next to the mistook is quick and structurally satisfactory.
