Title: laminating glue?
Post by: farmboy on March 03, 2008, 11:49:00 PM

I want to try laminating different species of wood and antler to wood for my handles.  What type of glues work best for that.

I want my handles to hold up to hard use and have been using multi layers of tung oil as a finish.

Does anyone know if true oil is made up of several different oils or is it a pure oil?

Any suggestions would be great!

I'd try contacting the company about their product.  I have found this kind of situation, companys are more than happy to help.  And sometimes they get a kick out of what you are doing with their product.

Slow cure epoxy from the hardware store. That is all I ever use and I always use tung oil as a finsh. The two work well together.
