Title: Fiber spacing material
Post by: Leftieshot on March 12, 2008, 09:51:00 PM

I'm thinkin about using some fiber spacing material (from Jantz) in another knife.  Whats the best way to cut this stuff to get the shape I need?  Is ther anything special about attaching (epoxy) it to the blade?
Any input is welcome.

You can get some from Pop's too.  You cut it with scissors, glue to the scales and let dry, then move on like you would normally. cut it oversize, you can trim it later or grind it off.  Don't know if it is necessary, but I lightly scuff it before glueing. Dan

Sounds simple enough!  Thanks Dan.  Any particular glue or do I use the same epoxy I use for the scales?
