Old thread I know, but as long as it has been brought back to life, I thought to add this foot note to the restoration and repair portion of this thread. JB Weld is designed to be heat resistant to the point it has been used to repair cracked engine blocks. It will not soften noticeably at a heat that will not destroy the sword hilt. It is also fairly wear-resistant. I have seen it used on large residential lawn mowers to repair the drive pully. the repair held for a decade. Ariel was right about the Dremel tool, chisels. and file/rasps being the way to remove the epoxy.

BTW Francantolin, what became of this sword?

Hello all,

Glad to see this post came back,
I first didn't notice it .

Sadly I can't say much about it ,
I leaved it like that and sold it last year,
Needed money to buy other stuff.....
