    Default What resin 4 wood splitter head

    I have a ~14lb wood splitter head I bought a plastic handle (fibreglass) and it is a bit small for the head. I will need to pour some resin in to hold it on. I was going to use polyester as I have some but thought it would be too brittle any ideas on what would be best?

    I think you are right that polyester would be too brittle, I would give 2 pack epoxy (eg Araldite) a go.

    Also a two-pack epoxy like Techniglue would do the trick.
