Best glue to use for fixing a 'handle' to blank firesteel?

[Mat]

What's the best way to fix a handle\grip to a firesteel blank? I missed out on the recent group buy but have bought 10 for myself and mates. I've got a pal that can turn me some nice wooden handles and I was thinking something like Areldite would be ok???

Thanks for any advice.

I used "Wicks" own brand Areldite

A good epoxy should do it eh?

I find it helps to thicken the epoxy a little. You can easily do this by mixing in the sawdust you get from drilling the hole for the handle.

Araldite quick set and sawdust like anthony said!

Unless you are an eejit like me who changes his mind half way through. If you are the ordinary araldite gives you more time.

On the other hand - if you are using a 10mm drill bit like me it prevents "sagging firesteel"
