I’ve also seen at least one guy on YouTube using denatured alcohol to thin epoxy.

As best as I can tell, it is not compatible. The angle is off for starters.

how much acetone?

The forum "corrected" my spelling for me. INTEGRAL and yes that is the machine that I would rather not pay $800 for if I had another option that would work on my KMG. I have seen one in operation, but ti is not variable speed.

Are use west, and add colloidal silica when using it as an adhesive. That knife in the picture I just used it without the silica and it was still pretty thick. I also didn’t know that you were supposed to blot it after it’s soaked in, so you didn’t have a lot of epoxy lying on top of the wrap.

Does anyone make one? I can find the fixtures for other manufacturers, like Feder, Wilmont, Brodbeck, etc. but number for the KMG I would prefer not to have to buy a completely separate machine like the uncle Al device but I’m not sure I’m comfortable trying to build one.

On the nights that I posted, I did a flat under wrap of stripped blue para cord and then did the other wrap with just regular black. It was still fairly thin, like maybe a half inch thick? I want something may be a little bigger than that for a knife it’s going to have a 10 or 12 inch blade. The...

I hear people talking about send down a Apoxsee. Typically I have used the basic West system 100 and 200 series products. How do you thin that?

I didn’t remember whether James used rubber or Terotough. And you can’t really see it in the knife in the picture because I didn’t do the epoxy thing properly. But I used stripped blue P record as the strider type underwrap. You can see in a little bit if you zoom in.

This is the knife where I discovered that you need Narrower tang

I know that Rick Marchand uses leather, but he’s doing a total wrap of the handle with thin hemp cord.

I’m thinking of two different styles, the one I’m talking about now would be one where the handle is totally covered with Paracord, stripped or unstripped. The other would be a handle using normal, say wood scales with the center of it wrapped in a Japanese style or just a straight wrap with...

I’m thinking of doing a jimmy fikes inspired piece. The only other time I tried this I discovered that you need to have the thing a little narrower top to bottom to compensate for the diameter of the para cord. The other thing I’m wondering is how do you fat enough to handle a little bit? I know...

Ordered from high temp. They dont have as much on their website as they used to> No link to Kelly Cupples anyore.

He has some of the stuff and some is out of stock

So does anyone know where you can buy refractory supplies?

They moved recently

Yeah, I was actually trying to buy a new one, but after their move the wait time is so long I’m just gonna rebuild my existing one and maybe by the new burners when they have them

I heard back from them. They just finished a move to Texas.

So what’s up with these guys, they don’t answer their phone they don’t respond to emails or voice messages. I’m talking about spending $1700 with him and I can’t get a response. Are they still in business? I was one of their early customers, so this would be the second forge I bought from them...
