I'lll try this next time as I have only been using the Super strength stuff. This sounds good though. Used the super strength for my pillers on my rifle stock.
There it worked a treat. Its clear but the grey colour sounds good. Thanks @gonetropo

Nice looking knife @Boaraxa

If your going to degrease the timber, let it sit for at least an hour afterwards before gluing to allow the solvent to fully evaporate, otherwise you can get solvent trapped in the glue join.
