Paper micarta spacers WIP

[peppen108]

It came to me in a dream. Black paper micarta spacers whit an of color core. Black pigment in the epoxy when scales and blade is glued, spacer in the middle and... Alakazam 100% seamless integration (in theory (dream theory)).

The epoxy is setting now. The hole thing took 12 minutes from opening the epoxy until the slabs was secured in the work bench.

Glade you liked it! The epoxy is about 25% sett. 30 minutes of work would not be any problem at all. Seems like I put a little to much emphasis on the speed.

The epoxy is 90% sett butt i will leave the micarta in the slabs so that it does not wrap.

One cool thing is that I heard that the plastic used i shopping bags was one of the hardest materials to glue at all. So i clad the slabs whit it. And the exes epoxy on the outside just flakes of. It has not been under pressure but it looks promising.
