Tips for filling space between handle and pins????

[jball1125]

So a small space showed up after I begun shaping the handles. (Between the pin and its hole)

Any tips for getting it filled so it is not visible?

Handle is Ironwood and Pins are SS.

How much gap? If not much try mixing some sawdust from your handle material with epoxy. It won't be perfect, but if it's small it should be fine.

You can peen the pins too, but SS may prove difficult.

I hate when that happens.

Yea it definitely sucks. The gap is about the thickness of a thicker hair, not that bad but it is visible. Would crazy glue maybe work better than epoxy since its clear?

Yes. Mainly because it's thinner and will flow into the gap more easily.

Yup, I should have said that.
