homeshow Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I done think anyone uses fish bones and deer hoof glue anymore. I just want to know what your personal favorite is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCROB Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 G2 epoxy and corby rivets for that extra piece of mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSW Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 My favorite epoxy is usually the West system. Whenever I really need something to hold, that's often what I go to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homeshow Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 Rosin and PHD Remember that there are a number of folks doing historical reproductions around here :-) and that's a good thing. I'm looking into switching to golf club epoxy 2 part resin. Overkill is not necessarily a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 There was quite an extensive test panel done on glues on a blade specific site several years ago. I don't recall if it was BritishBlades or BladeForums. May have even been linked here at one time or another. Anyway, I have had good luck with JB Weld but not on light colored materials. Devcon, 3M and Loctite may good products but I have been warned away from the fast setting stuff from any of these companies. If its a project I have already put weeks, months, longer, I can wait one more day for a good set :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeshow Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 Set time is not an issue for me either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfootnampa Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 The reason for those warnings is that NONE of the fast set epoxies are as effective as MOST of the slower set versions... even from the same manufacturers! I have used a few medium slow set epoxies that seem quite good... but mostly slower set equals better glue, in epoxies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
