I had the same issue with blue tape. I read on one of the forums something that really helped. Tape the the blade first with Teflon plumbers tape then electric tape. Maybe not the cheapest but work fantastic. Also I don’t tape to the scales edge. I leave a space there so I can clean the epoxy...

Looks like maybe she washed it and did not dry it. Just let it air dry with the water on it.

That looks real nice. mine did not have that layered look. Really like your sheath.

That’s exactly what happened Paul. It looked awful. One side looked pretty good the other splotchy. I ended up buffing it and it looks much darker and better. I will wax it as you recommende.

What to you stop at 220?

First time working with it. I have it on a utility style knife. Do you just sand it to a certain grit and oil or to you buff it?

Man it looks good. I found this one not to far from where I live. But I really have no idea about these old machines

So Gene about how many knives Will you treat in those 8 weeks?

I really like working it.Has some weight to it. It polishes up to a high gloss easily. On this knife I only went to 120 grit and I still get a nice sheen on it.

Thanks. Yeah I have a bunch left from when I had a custom bow grip Business Years ago. The smell of sanding it brought back many memories lol. I don’t think they rebuilt the plant after it burned Down. is anybody else making the same stuff?

Traded for some sheath work. 52100 5/32” FF grind, Some old Dymondwood I have had for years With Micarta Pins. I HT it myself and this is a everyday carry and will get used. So we will see how it holds up. Any suggestions are appropriated.
