Devcon worked great about 5 to 6 years ago, for me anyways. No failures on those knives, or while putting them together.
I recently started making knives again. The epoxy isn't sticking to the metal like it used to. After leaving the handle material and metal clamped together for a few days. Alot of times, I get a complete failure where the metal and epoxy meets. It isn't sticking at all.
I use the same method of cleaning and prep that I always did. I rough it up good, with coarse sandpaper, and even scratch into the metal with a file.
Could it be, that devcon tweaked their ingreadiants. Or maybe I was just lucky with the stuff in the past.
