How to epoxy bushcraft knife handles with Gorilla Glue. Time to epoxy the Micarta handles onto my handmade bushcraft tool. The work is done the blade is made clean up and heat treated the Micarta tool handles have been pre-fitted and it is time to epoxy them onto the tang. I will be using Corby bolts for three fasteners and two brass handmade pins that I made out of brass welding rod and have flared them out on one side and cut them to the right length to be peened on the other side.
The epoxy I will be using on the bushcraft tool is made by The Gorilla Glue Company and it is their version of five minute epoxy. The thing I like about this five minute epoxy is that it is clear and has the ability to fill in slight cracks and spaces.
I made my own stirring sticks out of 1/16″ tig welding rod. My work area is prepped and ready I have cardboard to mix the epoxy on and Acetone to remove any excess epoxy once the handles are attached.
