epoxy question

[Bige610]

So i have knife i tried to rehandle myself. I guess the epoxy i got wasnt very good or didnt mix properly. It came in a syringe and was supposed to mix before it came out. anyway. now my knife handle is leaking the sticky stuff out of it sometimes. any suggestions on how to fix this before i rip of the handle and start over. I was thinking i could get some super glue or something to fill in the gap and the stuff wouldnt leak. other than the one or two spots it doesnt come out anywhere else. thanks

Epoxy doesn't mix in the syringe. If it did, it would harden the first time you used it.
It must be thoroughly mixed with a toothpick or spatula before using. Remove the handles, and scrape as much off as you can. Clean the gooey parts with rubbing alcohol. Chip any hard parts off the scales and knife.
MIX your epoxy and reapply.

aghh that makes sense. i was looking for the stuff i was used to using that came in two containers and you mixed in a cup or something. thanks
