I think i answered my own question, but wanted to run in by you pros to see if i'm right. It seems the handle spreads apart from the metal on a few of my knives, mainly kitchen. At first i thought it wasnt putting enough epoxy, then i realized it happens to only the kitchen knives, none of the hunters. So my thought is the steel is alot thinner, heating up faster during sanding, and possibly weakening the glue while sanding. So my thought was when doing thinner steels like those, i need to take more breaks on the sander, not to let it heat so bad. Also use newer grit sandpaper, so the more worn out paper doesnt heat it as quick either...am i on the right track??
