I'm looking for epoxy. Either, Acraglass or GFlex. I have found some online, but crazy shipping prices. Im away for work for another week or so, but I'm going to have a few days to work on knives before flying back east for Xmas holidays. I have been using Canadian tire brand marine epoxy, but it's not cutting it. Anyone got any ideas? I don't mind ordering online, just 25$ shipping is a bit steep.
I got the 8 oz G/flex from Boat Craft in Edmonton. http://boatcraft.com You can give them a ring and see if they can get it up to you with reasonable postage. It was $27. Dan
G/flex is honey coloured. The only epoxy I've used that is without any noticeable tint is Permatex 84107, described as "crystal clear." Datasheet here: http://www.permatex.com/documents/TDS/automotive/84107.pdf But there are certainly others out there. My main concern with an epoxy is its strength and waterproof-ness. A lot of epoxies are "water resistant" but "should not be submerged" (re: Gorilla) in water and that's not ideal for a kitchen knife. Hence my preference for marine grade epoxies. I like to think of the epoxy as a sealant rather than an adhesive. Keeping water out is job #1. Dan
