What kind of glue to use?

[Shotgun]

Was just wondering on what's an easy to work with glue for synthetic handles that also holds well.

Devcon Expoxy is probably the most likely weapon of choice, you may want to search 'glue wars' there are a couple of posts doing a pretty good job of sorting out glues.

i tried gorilla glue--just cause i heard it was pretty good in the glue wars. i didnt like the fact the in foamed up like crazy when it dried, i had to take 10 minutes to sand off the foam before hiiting the scales--marakz--but so far its working well

if you mix gorilla glue with something else (works for liquid nails, but I dunno bout epoxy) then you get really small bubles. it expands a little wich can be good, but the buble are really small so they are much stronger, and less of a pain.

The Gorilla glue should be clamped down really tightly to avoid bubbles, it's made to use thin. The foam that comes out can pretty easily be cleaned up with a razor. Just scrape it from the tang. It is very good glue.
