A new HI VISCOUS Resin 6oz Kit from the USA.

BladeBond HT has been specially formulated for hidden tang applications.

HT is measured and mixed in a convenient 2:1 ratio by volume, and has a pot life of 20 min, at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Usable cure is achieved in 12 hours. When fully cured BladeBond HT can be machined, drilled and tapped, and is totally immune to and unaffected by water, rot and most common solvents and chemicals.

We have tested this product in our workshop and it works especially well when working with hollow tooth's and oversized slots in blocks of wood.

Any excess resin can be removed with Acetone before it cures.

A Variable Mix Ratio Epoxy Gel.

Fusion VMX is a revolutionary new epoxy that gives the blade Smith an unprecedented amount of control over the flex characteristics of the cured bond line between tang and scale. Our proprietary formula uses a highly advanced chemistry that allows the user to vary the ratio of resin to catalyst in order to achieve performance properties tailored specifically to the application or personal preference

Additionally, our newly optimised non-sagging/gap filling viscosity minimises excess run out, virtually eliminating the chance of a starved glue joint for measuring and mixing instructions please refer to some further instructions

Fusion VMx's unique chemistry allows it to be measured and mixed up to 50% in either direction to vary the flex characteristics of the cured bond line.

1 part resin to 1 part catalyst yields a moderately flexible bond line.

1 part resin .5 catalyst yields a stiffer bond line

1 part resin to 1.5 catalyst use a more flexible bond line.

To use, simply extract the desired amounts out of the containers using a lolly stick or similar and mix on a flat non-porous surface for two minutes. We recommend starting with a 1 : 1 mix and if necessary, adjusting the ratio as desired. Working time at room temperature: 45 minutes.

Full cure at room temperature: 24 hours

2 x 2oz pots of Catalyst and Resin, plus 8 mixing cups

We have tested this in our workshop and it is excellent value!
