If it doesn't fit be sure and sand it down until it does fit. This step or just use a Fuji Film clear canister and fits perfectly inside the D-cell mag tube) Now take the bamboo and make sure it fits snug into the container. (This step is only if you are using the fish spear, if not you can skip You can use the mirror as a signal mirror. Place it somewhere safe and allow it to fully cure. Next apply some more epoxy to the dowel and a little to the inner lip of the cap and place the mirror into the cap and gently press down and twist it. Cut a piece of 1" dowel about 3/8"-1/2" long which is just long enough for the dowel to be flush with the inner lip on the cap, then mix up some more epoxy and place it on the inside of the cap on top of the other epoxy and place the dowel into the hole with a slight twisting action. Allow that about 5 hours to set up and firm up. Mix up some more epoxy and apply it to the inside of the cap until the the whole backside of the compass is covered and it's nice and flat. Allow it to set up for about 5 minutes and check it to make sure it hasn't moved. Mix up a small bit of epoxy and apply it to the outside edge of the compass and to the inside of the hole, then place the compass in the hole and make sure the compass sits flush into the cap. Take the cap from the container and make sure the compass fits snuggly into the hole.

Set it some place where it won't get knocked around or fall to allow the epoxy to finish setting up. Be sure the nails or screws you use are not longer than 1/2" or they will protrude into the hole for the fish spear and you will not be able to put the spear into the hole. Give the epoxy another few minutes to set up before hammering in your nails or screws. Take your mixing stick from the epoxy and use it to spread the epoxy around the joint and to remove any excess epoxy. After you apply the epoxy, slip the container back over the walking stick with a slight twisting action and hold it firmly in place for a few minutes. Another trick is to take a 1/4" drill bit and drill a few holes about 1/4" deep to make some pockets for the epoxy, this is optional of course. You may want to take the 50 grit sandpaper and rough up the inside of the container and the section on the walking stick to give it a firmer grip. Measure out a small amount of epoxy and mix it up thoroughly, then spread it around the sanded area that the container fits over. Take your container and measure 3/4" from where you cut it and drill 3 holes equally spaced out around the container to place small nails or screws, make sure the holes are just big enough to put the screws or nails through. Once all coats of the wood finish are completely cured you can begin toĪssemble all the parts.
