    that's a sick knife, thanks for the explanation... need to replace some acrylic panels that keep breaking off one of my knives and I'm hoping the epoxy will do a lot better...
    This is pretty encouraging....

    Those turned out well. I've used clear epoxy to make burlap and canvas scales.

  • @renorie86
    @renorie86 3 года назад +2

    I was worried the wood part would separate from the epoxy, Shell out but it didn’t and then the shaping since wood is softer than epoxy I thought it would sand differently and not look like a whole piece but it does. Good job.

    Interesting. Any ideas on making a checker board pattern by using 1/2"or 3/4" cut squares? I need black and white(to look like paint strokes) with rust colored bleeding edges of the white checker board pattern 3/8" thick x 1.5" x 6" scales........Just started researching this myself

    • @DIYeasycrafts
      @DIYeasycrafts  3 года назад

      I would cast each color separately then cut the squares glue them together aqnd then pour clear over the top. Not sure about rust colored bleeding

      @@DIYeasycrafts Thanks for the reply. I found another epoxy that allows you to use waterbased stain under it on wood. (Not sure if most do also)So I might try that first. Waiting on a reply from the manufacture rep. If so that opens up a lot of possibilities for me.

    @castle6660 2 года назад +1

    I have a set of four knives that are similar in shape but all different sizes. That I carry. I have been accumulating these hybrid wood acrylic scales.. and once I have all the ones I want I'm planning on putting them on my set of four survival knives. Does anyone know how strong or reliable this type of scale material is? As opposed to say linen Micarta.. or are they just for looks?
    Would they hold up just fine in survival situations in the woods? Excessive chopping things like that. Regular use. Or should I get some stronger scales?

    • @DIYeasycrafts
      @DIYeasycrafts  2 года назад

      I guess it really depends on if the burl was stabilized and who made the scales.
