Just do a few feet at a time.

Much stronger than hot glue.
You can get it in two types:
One that sets in 5 minutes and dries soilid in an hour,
or one that sets in a few hours and dries in a few days.

Isnt epoxy applied in two parts though? I wanted to originally use epoxy but the only stuff i found was at home depot that came with a two part applicator.
The 3/16" slot that is currently on my cab is so deep. Im embarrased that i didnt physically stop myself as i was routing it. That makes me just want to woodfiller the cab and do it right with the 1/16 bit i ordered.
Most likely thats what im gonna do as long as no one posts here saying that this method didnt work for them. If it dosnt work out, ill post pics and detail why not to reroute a woodfillered slot hehe
Trimoor:
Epoxy is almost always 2 parts, but the mixing ratio isn't very critical.
I would say don't use wood filler.
It works good for fixing dents and scratches, but if you try to put any tension on it, it just crumbles.
Try it on a scrap piece first.
shmokes:
For future reference, before you do anything (especially if there is a question about it) try it out first on a piece of scrap.

I thought everybody knew by now all about the great deal at MLCS Woodworking! $16, free shipping. Pass it on.
As far as your problem... personally I would star far away from hot glue. Partly cause I hate working with it, and partly cause when I was a kid I squirted some into a bottle cap and wondered what it smelled like, and ended up terribly burning the end of my nose... but let's move on. :-[
What about making a strip of wood, 3/16" wide and using wood glue to fill the slot. If the wood is tight, and the glue is good... you should be fine. That's my recommendation.
and do what shmokes said! ;D
