Ferrule

[deadbeat]

I have used 5 minute epoxy before and waited until it setup some before pushing it on to prevent the expoxy from soaking in and leaving a dark line behind the ferrule. I have also heard people say 5 minute epoxy has no business being used for ferrules even though I have never had one pop using it. When you use the slower drying epoxies, what do you do to try to prevent the glue from soaking in the wood behind the ferrule?

I sometimes use 5-minute epoxy with a white tint mixed with it or sometimes I use Franklin's cement. Both work just fine for me. I feel if it doesn't hold it would be a quick, easy repair, unlike an A-joint or a deco-ring that would be very hard and time consuming to repair. I only use 5-minute epoxy for ferrules and joint/shaft pins.
