madmaxthesniperFirst, I took the amber opaque epoxy and a spare piece of thin mammoth bark:
This is 20 min dual-compound one from Lowes. Then I used masking tape to cover part of it and filled it with epoxy to the brim:
Black Overlord supervises.
Why did I do this? Epoxy, when hardening, emits ALOT of heat. I mean alot, it will burn your skin to shreds. I want to know if this precise epoxy will do anything to this precise mammoth bone. So I can level the pieces I chose for the knife and be sure they will withstand the abuse.
I'll tell you in a few minutes. It sets in 20.
