or
- CONVENIENT EPOXY BUNDLE contains one can of WEST SYSTEM 105-A Resin (32 fl oz), WEST SYSTEM 205-A Fast Hardener (7 fl oz), and one set of calibrated 300 Mini Pumps. 205 Fast Hardener is a medium-viscosity epoxy curing agent. It is useful in a majority of bonding situations, and at lower temperatures. 205 Fast Hardener produces a rapid epoxy cure that develops physical properties quickly at room temperature.
- 105 EPOXY RESIN is a clear, pale yellow, low-viscosity liquid epoxy resin. Blended with 205 Fast Hardener at a 5:1 ratio, it cures to a hard, solid plastic with superior physical properties. It will wet out and bond with wood fiber, fiberglass, reinforcing fabrics and a variety of metals. (205 Fast Hardener is not intended for clear coating.)
- POT LIFE AT 72°F (22°C) is 9 to 12 minutes. Cures to a solid state in 6 to 8 hours. Cures to maximum strength in 1 to 4 days. Minimum recommended working temperature is 40°F (4°C). Does not contain VOCs and has relatively high flash point and no solvent odor, making it much friendlier to use than styrenated resins.
- EXCELLENT FOR COATNG OR BONDING, this epoxy is easily modified with WEST SYSTEM fillers, pigments, and additives to suit an enormous variety of construction and repair projects, including fiberglass boat repair, strip kayak and canoe construction. Resin viscosity is approximately 1000 centipoise at 72°F (22°C)
- INCLUDES CALIBRATED PUMPS that dispense 105 Resin & 205 Fast Hardener at the correct 5-part resin to 1-part hardener mix ratio. One pump stroke of resin for each one pump stroke of hardener yields 0.8 fl oz of the exact 5:1 epoxy mix ratio. These durable polypropylene pumps provide years of dependable service.

Depends on your 'philosophy' in knife making. Personally I feel that the epoxy shouldn't be used to keep everything together, it is more just an added thing to keep things in place. If you are relying on glue alone (or mostly) to hold your knife together you are in a pretty rough place with that knife. You should make sure your fit of the tang into the handle is solid (not lots of wiggle room) this will go a long way. Next a single pin through the handle and the tang gets you to 90-95%. Adding the epoxy just makes up for any slack and keeps things in place. Personally I just use the JB Weld brand rated for bonding metal. I see a lot of people using this epoxy -> https://www.amazon.com/System-Epoxy-Resin-Hardener-Metering/dp/B07JHC28CV?keywords=west+system&qid=1540668531&s=Industrial+%26+Scientific&sr=1-14&ref=sr_1_14 but I don't make enough knives for it to be economically practical.
