Thread: Can anyone advise me

mainaman I really am sorry. I honestly don't have a clue how to fix a spine, or blade. I can't even fix warped plastic scales. I said the wrong thing somewhere and I got this guys thread messed up and I feel like crap for that. I would put some tape on it to fix it if I could ... that was a joke. http://straightrazorpalace.com/image...s/banghead.gif

Duncan,

Use 2 layers of electrical tape

Start with and extreme heel forward Swooping X -stroke

Watch the water ripple at the edge, DO NOT lose it as you draw the stroke..

Do 10 laps per side then assess the work


You should be able to see the new 2 layer bevel, see if it is nice tight and even,, if so then you are on the right track, if not STOP and think about what direction you want to go...

There are other tricks, this is the easiest to start with


Basically exactly what Stefan was saying up there in the thread

Thanks Glen,
You were spot on with the advice, many thanks.
Duncan
