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 |

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. |

John 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. Jo |

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.) Ned Simmons |

Not drinking enough will kill you, too. By the way, anybody got statistics on fatality rate from being born? Pete Keillor |
