Make a template of the scales.

I use masking tape to transfer scale design onto wood:

If you have a scanner you can scan them also. Holes show up nicely.


NOTE: Make sure the
scales have not SHRUNK!

Apply 2 sided tape.

I use the stuff from the plastic you put on your windows to seal them:

    That is weird? Maybe it is because I sent you the link from my computer?

    Acetone will easily loosen and remove the bolsters and inlays.
