I'm making a hidden tang antler handle knife in which the tang will be epoxied inside the antler handle. My tang goes 3/4 into the handle 3/4 the length of the handle. I saw a pictorial online where the knife maker (making a hidden epoxied tang knife) recommended using slow setting "3 hr epoxy". Which it appeared was thin enough after mixing that it could be poured into the handle. All I can find is the east setting 5 minute type.
Questions: Can the fast setting 5 minute type also be poured? I'm not sure how get a uniform coverage deep into the handle if it can't.
#2. If not, where can one get slow setting epoxy that can be poured?
Any advice/recommendations appreciated. Thanks
