It is a white, expanding, glue, does not drip and thus forms a nice = collar or ring around the shank. We just improved it and found the perfect formula, meaning that it is = perfect. It gets stone hard and forms a very tight connection between = the hammer head and the shank. The fact that it expands means that the = drilling can be wide. This gives you ample time to position the hammers. Powders : I use only pure teflon powder. Hardener : I only use colodion. Softener : never use it. We usually don't soften hammers with = chemicals but with needling. friendly greetings from Andr=E9 Oorebeek Vita Dura Est ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
