g/flex 650 or 655 for knife scales?

[PsYCHoT|K]

Hey guys, just a quick question regarding g/flex. When being used to glue wooden scales (possibly with kydex liners) onto a full tang knife, which of these two is better? The 650 or the 655? I had read somewhere that the 655 might be slightly stronger, though I'm clueless as to whether that is true or not. Being that 655 is thicker, is it harder to work with? Thanks for the help!

Get the normal 650, it's what I use and I'm pretty sure what mostly every other knifemaker uses, those that use G-flex that is. All I know is that you can't go wrong with 650, not sure bout the extra thikness of 655 however.. I'm sure somebody else will chime in here that knows mow about the 2.
