Need some tips/advice on how to clean up the epoxy on handle when using a vine pattern on spine. Can't seem to do it without damaging the wood. Did not want to use acetone for fear of weakening epoxy.
My thought is to use thin a steel spacer between handle and spine, then I could use a hard plastic or brass tool to clean it up and it would probably look cleaner too.
What would be best way to apply the spacer:
1. bolt to blade for grinding/polishing then epoxy it in place at same time as handle
2. solder spacer to blade
3. epoxy with handle and then grind/polish
Thanks
Mark
