I am looking at G/flex epoxy what specific product do you use on your knife scales? I'm thinking G/flex 650 toughened epoxy.
thanks for your time in advance

I use GFlex 90% of the time, otherwise West System 5 minute epoxy.

From what I can see is the G/flex 655 just a little thicker than G/flex 650?

G Flex appeqars to be regular West 105/205 with the filler alreqdy added. convenient but a little pricey. Do NOT buy the 5 minute stuyff because they aren]t kidding.

Price wise the 105/206 is a better buy with no filler. does the filler make that a better bond?

I use both of these with great success.

Thank you for all of your responses I am going to try the G/flex650

In my opinion any epoxy that West System makes will work just fine.

The lake John White explained it to me pretty well. Plain 105/205, 206 or 207 is basically laminating goop. You make fiberglass out of it. 207 is the clear stuff. If you want to use it for adhesive or filler, then you add the other stuff to it. He told me to use colloidal silica. The other popular option are the micro bubble spheres or whatever they are called
