Default Thor rawhide/copper hammers - replace head

all
I've searched the internet. Everyone sells the replacement rawhide
tips, but i can't find anywhere that details how to fit the darn things.

The Thor hammer has a reverse taper (it gets bigger as you screw in)
screw thread, but the rawhide is oversize for the thread. I remember
somewhere that I should soak the Rawhide head before fitting - but what
in, and for how long?

TIA

Jo

Rawhide is soaked in DiHydrogen Monoxide to soften it. This will permit the
rawhide to deform in shape.

The length of time depends upon the thickness - it can take a while for a
coiled mass like a mallet or a mallet head.

See the MSDS sheet at http://www.dhmo.org for specific cautions.

Well, yes, but you forgot a very important safety precaution ---- make
sure you wear the correct safety equipment .. http://zapatopi.net/afdb/

Thanks guys
I'm fully aware of the dangers of dhmo - especially ingesting it without
dilution.

I'll wear full scuba gear, just to be on the safe side.

That stuff caused the death of millions recently in Asia, following an
earthquake under the ocean.

This stuff appears to be pretty "bad"... and I wouldn't even know
where to obtain it.... so, what *else* could the rawhide mallet faces
be soaked in to do the job ? water? alcohol? paint thinner?

According to that web site it's fed to cow's to increase
milk production and finds its way into the milk, so perhaps
the rawhide could be soaked in milk?

The MSDS says that ingesting too much DHMO is liable to
kill you, so I'll be cutting back on my consumption of milk
(and DHMOmelon, too.)

That's o.k. Not drinking enough will kill you, too. By the way,
anybody got statistics on fatality rate from being born?

^^^^^^^^^^^
It's one to one. However, due to the widely variable delay between cause
and effect, the correlation must be derived by advanced statistical methods.

My 2 favorite "life" sayings:

Don't take life so seriously.
You'll never get out of it alive.

and

Life: A 100% fatal, sexually-transmitted disease.


By the way, I drink a couple hundred ounces of pure, unadulterated
DMHO daily...and look what it's done for me!
