Andi B. Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Hello, I'm new here in this forum! To create fittings for my tanto projects I will use chisels, gravers, punches and a mini drill machine. The chisels etc. will be do-it-youself pieces. Now my questions: To fix the work piece I have embossing cement - a rust colored hard lump. How is this used and prepared? 1) I assume this cement will become softer when heated - how can this be done? 2) Where should it (the cement) be placed to assure an easy working (in a "pitch bowl" or a similar construction)? Any instructions / images and hints out there? Thank you Andi B. www.zatoichi.de www.jogibeer.de Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a product called Thermo-Lock which I believe would be equivalent to the product you are mentioning. They have a small tutorial on there products section. Hope this helps.

Janel Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Welcome to The Carving Path Andi B.! I am not a metals person, so others will have the answers for you. It may take a little while for activity here, these last days before the big holidays and the new year. Thanks for the links to your web site pages.
