Epoxy for restoration
Hi all. I am confused as to what to use while repairing antiques. I am usually concerned with shamshirs where you have to fill in the guard with some material. Traditionally, a whitish glue was used, as explained in the paper by Dr Khorasani. I have been told by a lead restorer that he will use epoxy as a filler in the guard. To me, it seems a very non reversible fix. Any thoughts?
