If there is a bead of epoxy on the blade then get a small brass rod, grind the tip into a chisel shape, and use that to pop the bead off the blade. The brass won't scratch the much harder blade steel.
If the epoxy is a smear then soak a paper towel in acetone and use that to dissolve the epoxy .... Last edited by Ray Rogers; 12-14-2009 at 03:41 PM. |

Heat will weaken it to where it will pop off easily, but use common since.

This is one of the things that happens to a lot of knifemakers. One of the things that I have found that helps is to use alcohol pads to cleanup after I glue the handles on.
Just a thought. Curtis __________________ Curtis Wilson Wilson's Custom Knives, Engraving, and Scrimshaw |

That's good. White vinegar also works, or acetone. Before it sets!
