A remedy for loose wedges: WONDERLOK "EM

About a year ago I came across an article titled "The Axe Manual". A product called Swell & Lock was used on the axe handle prior to fitting the axe head. I thought it might be interesting to try on loose handles and wedges, so I did. The results were not quite what I had hoped, so I tried another product, WONDERLOK "EM. The verdict, this stuff is amazing. Following is the process I used:

Reset or tighten up loose wedges and handles in your hammer or axe. Put the tool (hammer or axe) upright in the vise. Apply Wonderlok "em on the top of the eye, it will penetrate and seep quickly. Apply once more and let it dry for about ten minutes. Now your tool is ready to use.
