Rehandling CS master hunter 3v

Contact CS about sending it in for a replacement handle. After using a Kraton handle, all others suck.
 
So what if you mess it up?
You're learning stuff.
I really messed this one up, 1/4" gap between the guard and the shoulder of the blade. All epoxied together and dried when I noticed it.

Did a little research, stuck the handle in a pot of boiling water until the epoxy softened, took it off, cleaned up the tang and started over.
There's always a way out.

As I live in the UK, it might cost me more in posting than buying a new one.

I like the feel of kraton and it is comfortable but i have one issue with it.
The guard is kraton one as well and it moves when subjected to force. The handle itself is not a tight perfect fit and there are always places where the moisture could penetrate between the handle and tang and especially on 3v steel it is not desirable.
Would you seal somehow the part where the kraton and blades meet.
If so, what would be the best...epoxy?
