Epoxy putty Two-part epoxy - mix equal amounts of adhesive and hardener together to start the setting reaction. The mixture sets slowly, starting off quite soft like Plasticine and slowly getting harder. In effect you have an hour or so before the mixture gets too stiff to work and it's pretty hard after three hours and can be handled after that. Colour when set is pale grey. |

|

Black Epoxy putty As above but black. Useful for setting objects in plastic where you want a black background or for reparing buffalo horn. Can even be used to make spacers and caps for handles! |

White Epoxy putty Superfine consistency for extra detail. Useful for setting objects in plastic where you want a white background or for reparing antler. Can also be used to make spacers and caps for handles! |

ABRANET Abrasive Mesh This was introduced to
us by one of our customers and we were so impressed we
immediately started stocking it! The Aluminium Oxide
abrasive is presented on a fine mesh which allows the
particles of wood or horn to drop through (use dust mask or
dust-extraction unit where possible) so making the material
clog less often. We stock the four sizes we find most useful - 80 and 120 grit are most useful for starting off and the 400 and 600 grit are great for finishing, particularly on horn where it can be difficult to remove those last scratches before polishing. If you still need a finer abrasive we would recommend the 0000 grade steel wool below.

PEEK polishing paste from the USA. Brilliant for use with horn, antler and clear resin. Use after removing all sanding marks and scratches with the steel wool or fine Abranet. You can get a gloss equal to that obtained with our buffing wheel Polishing kit - though it will take longer! |
