WOODSMAN EPOXY

HARD WOOD ASHES MIX WITH HEATED PINE PITCH
contributed by Fred
 
GOOD FOR SETTING POINTS, AND STONE AXES IN HOLED HANDLES.

EVERYTHING MUST BE READY AT TIME OF MIXING; WORK FAST; WHILE PINE PITCH IS BEING HEATED

SLOWLY ADD ASHES UNTIL A THICK SLURRY IS REACHED; IMMEDIATELY ADD TO PIECES TO 'WELD'

AND HOLD FIRM UNTIL DRY - SECONDS!!....

LOOKS LIKE IGNEOUS STUFF WHEN DONE
