Thread: Dorko 66 just came my way!

seems like it can be made usable if the edge is like the 3rd picture all the way down... It'll still be a nice example of a Dorko even missing an 1/8th from it's original size.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know if cell rot can be halted, at least temporarily, by doing something like freezing the scales?

it's a chemical reaction and once it starts it can't be stopped. No chemical way I know of to neutralize it but you need to talk to a chemist about that.

There was a post earlier in this thread at one point saying that putting it in the freezer can slow the cell rot but I am not experienced in this so I cannot guarantee that.

This is the end result

Scales and Brush are Blue Pearl Acrylic scales are @ .110 thickness

The Pins, Wedge, Liner, and Washers are all SS and Nickel Silver

Brush knot is a TGN 22mm Overstuffed Silvertip set at 51mm of loft

I used a new glue to do the inlay transfer, since the scales were mostly white I could not use the normal epoxy and I have never had great luck with Thin CA and Acrylics..
This is the new Gorilla Glue Gel CA and it really worked out well, I popped the inlay the used a piece of scotch tape to hold it steady, "painted" the inlay with the Gel using a cheapo paint brush from Wally World and then positioned it and held it in place over night with the Scotch Tape.. Polished the inlay and the CA using the 3M Cloth from 400 -8000..

And now the pics hehehe











Honing = Chosera 1-5-10 Zulu Grey Finisher

It is really hard to capture the actual flash of Blue Pearl in the pics, also on the gel glue it says "Shake Well" LOL that has to be a joke

Thanks for looking

The silver band at the brush base,what is that?

Nickel Silver, I just did a liner and a base except the base was the same material as the scales, I wanted to sorta tie the Brush and Scales together with the Blue Pearl and the Silver Wedge and Liner..

I actually drilled tiny holes through the metal and into the base and into the brush so that it would add a type of mechanical lock when the epoxy set up.. Old rifle barrel inlay trick

That pearl acrylic is something else. Great set with the brush.

A big thank you to Glen (gssixgun) for saving this straight razor.
It was handed down to me after sitting around and didn't look to good. Glen has made it into
Something I will be even prouder to own and show my father in law it now looks awesome again and has a second life.
The matching brush is a great addition!

Thank you Glen I appreciate your hard work and attention to detail.

Kudos again Glen, I really enjoy seeing the work that you do to these razors. I am in awe of your talent.
